Why Crash Test Festivas?

[YpsiBob]

I didn't grab power mirrors. Can I use them? Harness too?

yeup-shouldn't need the harness either. to use them in your car take the door panel off your car, find the wire thats already there. re-route it up to the plug on the power miror and bingo! don't forget the switch for in your dash too. That plug should also already be in your car.
and if you don't want to use them, sell them on ebay for $50 at least.... sometimes more than $100.

yep, when i had my 91 i didnt even have to pull the door panel, the harness was held in place with a clip right wher it needed to be, i had both styles of power mirrors, ill probably never be able to find both styles again.

I just recent went to Rancho Cordova, CA Pick N' Pull junkyard and I do see there lot of "dummy festiva car crash" with yellow/black strips on it and few nice festiva out there not used for test crash.

I have see it myself visited in there about total 40's Festiva (from 2004 to now) so far were used test crash and they do cut off all stick shift and sometime cut off carpet. Often worse crashed front of engine which hard to pull parts out.


Just sad to see many good festy end up in junkyard and then disappeared.

i know they like to do test to see what used cars have what crash approval rating. i know they did some thing in 2000 saying festivas have significantly worse than average protection for there occupants in the case of an accident lol.

I think that it was all a conspiracy to eliminate a car that is just too good. :lol:
