Hey all, Thanks for the help on the bed release. Turns out the PO had stored the third back seat head rest under there and it had become wedged against the latch. Using a rope and brute strength I managed to get it open. Now works fine, tho there is a small dent in the head rest which may relax away. Next problem: This is a 91 Multivan with (horrors!) automatic. It also has AC which my 87 Synchro does not. Anyway, in the 87 I very rarely heard the radiator fan come on, with this 91 it seems to come on alot. For instance, if I park and go into a store for 20-30 minutes.... when I restart, the fan comes on right away (ambient temp 75 F) It seems to come on while idling at stop signs too. Now I just picked this thing up yesterday so I'm alittle paranoid. So bear with me . Thanks for any help. Oh btw the temp gauge does not move from center. Thanks for your help, Tom Reid |
