Hello all,
New owner here... I just bought a 1991 Thunderbird SC. It's a decent car, originally from Florida.
I'm working on fixing a few minor problems (ABS accumulator, misc. bulbs, etc.), but I have a couple of items that have me curious...
What should be showing up on the Oil Change computer (above the radio)? Mine is completely blank. The car has an aftermarket stereo system and CD changer, and it looks like the original CD player in the dash has been disconnected. Did they also disconnect the oil change computer, or is it supposed to be blank unless it needs to tell me something?
Second question... the car has an auto dimming rear view mirror installed, but it isn't plugged in to anything (and therefore is non-functional). What is it supposed to be plugged in to, and how can I tell if the car came with this mirror or if it was swapped out later?
