Replying to: cordell (Feb 16, 2006 12:34 pm) the light that you are refering to is a low coolant light the sensor is usally in the plastic part of radiator about 1/4 way down check to make sure shes not low on antifreeze in the resivoir as for the oil u did not mention how many miles are on car or if you checked oil right after it was shut off its possible the oil returns in the heads are plugged and its holding oil up there running back to oil pan very slowly if you encounter this again wait about an hour and recheck ypu may get a different reading then hope this helps

Replying to: 94j (Jun 14, 2006 10:54 pm) There is a dimmer to the left of the stearing wheel (It is a ribbed roller built into the dash) Try tapping it to see if the lights come back.
#75 of 89 1992 GMC Safari XT by vettekeeper Nov 21, 2006 (10:38 am)
I have just aquired a 1992 GMC Safari Xt. When I turn on the interior light override switch to have the lights come on when I open the door, the interior lights stay on all the time. Is this correct or is there something else to it. I am single and really don't like getting into a dark van. Thanks in advance Replies to this message: autojunke (Nov 22, 2006 2:41 pm)

Replying to: vettekeeper (Nov 21, 2006 10:38 am) ok, the override switch I ASSume your refering to allows you to turn the lights OFF when the doors are opened. Also, with the dimmer switch you can turn the lights ON by moving to the full on position. Perhaps you just need to adjust you dimmer one notch down.
#77 of 89 Cracked Cluster Panel by timbuktu Jan 28, 2007 (4:58 pm)
Got into my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 this morning and noticed there was a crack just below the speedometer approx 1 inch long. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Only has 35,000 miles. Anyone know how big a job this will be to fix?   Darwin
#78 of 89 Need help fixing gear shift! by ladybuggal Jul 26, 2007 (8:13 am)
Replying to: staffordva (Nov 11, 2003 8:46 am) Long story... make it short! Kids left console light on to my 1999 Honda Civic Coupe all night... battery died... had to move out of garage to jump it. You can't change the gear apparently without power. My husband slammed it into Neutral and NOW, it moves from all gears without having to hit the button. Since this is going on, the car keeps draining the battery because it doesn't know it's in Park! I have it taken apart already but I can't find how to get the gear shift back on track to fix this. I need this car to be drivable again. Can anyone help?! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 26, 2007 8:26 am)

Replying to: ladybuggal (Jul 26, 2007 8:13 am) Yeah he busted a little detent in there...the button should activate some kind of rod or lever that catches a notch. This could be tricky. We'd need to see a diagram of the lever mechanism.
