My Bonnie is uncontrollable

19 years of brass dust from the keys (kinda blurry, but it was a lot)

All this to replace the turn signal arm. The window washer portion broke and I can't stand it when things don't work.

All better now.

Good Job...

We should have put steering wheel controls in there since you had it all apart

No thanks, it was bad enough doing that much. I also found my aftermarket security system. It is a sidewinder 5000. I am amazed it still works.

And after a while replacing the ignition cylinders in the Older GM'* become like childs play

Its funny when you replace the ignition cylinder and you have the parts sitting there and Poof.... 20 minutes and its all together again

That and having the right tools. Found out the hard way that it is easier to spend $11 for the lock plate compressor than trying to fight it. I think I could do it in 20 minutes now.

Some of us have to learn the hard way!
