There are decent car covers with soft lining inside so even if it shifts in the wind scratches arent likely. Plus the cover has side ventilation to allow it to breath underneath. I have a Hypersonic Gray Metallic 9Shich scratches and swirls quite easily (Anyone that has one can attest) and it hasnt put any swirls or sratches on it, still looks like a mirror and I had the cover on without taking it off for 2 months straight already outdoor with NO canopy or anything. I forgot to tie it down all the way and it was really windy the other day and the cover blew up like a balloon over the car, but never came off and still didnt scratch. The cover even has soft lining over any grommets and buckles.

I'd image the car would never start if you pulled that fuse. The fuse that says "theft" is for the theft deterrent system.. basically it will keep your horn from honking if you take it out.

Hi Jerry.. I have the 1988 35th Anniversary Triple White Edition. I am the 2nd owner.. 62 K miles.. the car is mint all original. I show it during the summer and it does well. Anyway the blend door is the only issue I have.. you have shine some light on the subject.. my issue is AC won’t blow cold.. compressor was changed which was bad and it worked fine for awhile. I had a mechanic rig the door so the ac would work but I guess the door has repositioned itself again.. but thank you for putting that video on.. I had the code issue thing with mine.. MAF sensor etc.. I subscribed to your channel.. thanks again

The seat motors are the same in all C4s. The only change is the plug changed shape in mid 1987. The switches look different, but function the same way. Testing the seat motor will be the same in all C4s. I made a change in the description.
@ZBrink11
@ZBrink11 4 месяца назад
@@JerrSpud Mostly correct. The basic motors and transmissions are the same. If the car has sport seats, it adds in more complexities for air lumbar and bolster support. Also, some years had power tilt as an option which adds an additional and separate motor, track, etc. The switches as well as the console and dash are dramatically different 1990 onward which changes the disassembly and some troubleshooting procedures. Again, I super appreciate people like you making the time and effort to do these videos. I will do tutorials for the forums but it's a little beyond my bandwidth to do a video like this so I appreciate you. Also, watching your video motivated me to finally get to the root cause of my own seat issue which I resolved and I'm ecstatic over! Thank you again!

I have an 87 and the cruise control just... doesn't do anything? Was wondering if you have advice on how to diagnose/fix?
@JerrSpud
@JerrSpud 6 месяцев назад
Not at this time. I have an 86 Fiero and the cruise control is not working in that. I'm sure the two systems are very similar. So once I figure out one I'll know how to do the other. But the first thing I always do is read what the shop manual says. Some of those chapters are pretty good. And there might actually be good advice in the Chilton manuals? Maybe it has a good troubleshooting tree? Thanx for the comment and food luck 👍

Hi Jerr, Thank you for reviewing the door lock fixers I designed and sold to you three years ago. I just found this video today! I just want to be clear, but in my auction description: I recommend cleaning and lubricating your door linkage before even considering buying my product. However, I feel if the maintenance has been performed and your lock still has issues, then my product could resolve your issue if your power lock actuators are still in good shape. Thank you again, Jerr, for your honest review. FYI... I wish you would have told me you were doing a review, as I would have sent them to you for free for an unbiased review.

sorry for the late comment but if you havent done this already. buy covers to put on the horns. when it rains water stores in the headlight fixtures and when you open your hood it dumps water all over them. i bet you thats why that one shorted out. even if your horns still work now id still do it to fix it completely for the future
