What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[scitzz]

Got the actuators for the power locks mounted and tested, but I am having trouble with the hatch locking, it will unlock with no problem, but will only lock if the hatch is open or not fully closed. ???

Only thing I can think of is that the motor isn't powerful enough. I will try disconnection the lock barrel from the rod tomorrow to see if that take enough strain off the actuator to lock the hatch while it is closed. That or douse the latch with WD40.

Link to set?

Replaced my brake light switch. No more paranoia about the guy behind me running me over!

I'd worry more as to why that guy is following you everywhere...

I hauled 400 pounds of concrete in the hatch area. With the backseat in it's regular position. Later I hauled a full-size door inside the car with the hatch closed. Try that with a sedan.

Decided against mounting the hitch and taking the Festiva to GA... it's making more funny noises, and has recently gone back to running like a POS.

Guess next week the trans is coming out and being swapped into my old Auto, and this car is the primary candidate for a lift and the diesel swap.

Used it to tug Goldie (Kelsey's Tracer wagon) out of the mud.

Power door locks are now all installed and working. I have no idea how you can feed the wires all the way down through the inside of the hatch, there is no way unless you have some special tool.

Until I can figure out a way, they will just have to run along the outside, securely of course.

Fish tape.

^ Tie the wires together, run a peice of wire through there with them taped to the end of it and pull them through.

Will try that if a straitened metal hanger doesn't work.

Did think of that, but don't have any wire rigid enough, though I will try a straightened metal hanger tomorrow.

I just wanted to get everything back together today because it was starting to get cold and the wind was picking up.

I used a straightened hanger to get my washer fluid tube up the side of the car and then through the top. Was kind of a pain, but I made it work!
