  • Car issue quiz!

    Here is a quiz to see what you really know about a Festy!!!!

    Car died today:

    Drove to drug store and came out, got in and turned key. Festy said "grumph" .... like it was going to start and then ....nothing... turn key, all silent.

    Lights work
    Horn works
    Cartridge fuses in place of fusible links - all good

    WTF? Neutral switch? Going out to look at it in a few minutes, now that i've cooled down enough to have a look at it! lol

    Person that gets the correct answer WINS! :peach: (a lifetime supply of reputation!)

          Lol, don't feel bad, I could have bought a 01 4wd s10 for $600 last year because the guy had a "wiring issue." He's lucky I'm a nice guy and spent 10minutes with some pb blaster Haha, he would have had a good reason to feel bad.
