My wife's been complaining of wacky AC vent behavior,
often going to defrost, and/or losing center vent
output. Since I was fooling with the radio I pulled
the PB array and had a look at its solder joints.
I touched up the switches themselves but didn't see
anything there. (I didn't really expec
This thing on? Been awful quiet lately.
So I've noticed something of a correlation in that my
oil-fouling #7 plug problem gets _much_ better in hot
weather. Given that I think I've eliminated a stem
seal problem as a possibility, would this be indicative
of a head gasket or a ring problem?

Jim,
Did you reflow the solder joints between the bottom board and the side boards?
That's the most common area for failures when it comes to solder joints in the
PB units.

No side boards in the later 126 units. (The side board problem

Yes, but I'd rather it worked correctly!
Are we sure it's not mixture related, rather than oil fouling?
Yes. Black and oily. Is also consuming oil.

HI,
My girlfriend has a '96 Buick Skylark and the Passlock anti theft system is
failing. Does anyone (D. Snook maybe?) know the troubleshooting procedure
for these?
Yeah, I know. Friends don't let friends drive anything but Mercedes...
Thanks,

The squirters come out easy - I always took them off any time I waxed my cars.
They have two "legs" that stick out, one forward and one back. If you have a

the pliers to compress the "legs". If you get one loose (a
Just a guess, but if you are satisfied there is no leak along the
stem, then I'd guess a head gasket next for doing flaky things, like
leaking less when the ambient temp is warmer. Could be a crack in
the head too, but not likely.

You sure? We are talking 124. What about the heaters? is there a
plug that comes off the squirter, or do you take out a pigtail with
the squirter? The hole in the hood appears to be slotted, with the
front being smaller I didn't see any king of "legs" to clip it
in. I could slide the squ
Take a bread tie wire and bend it over a quarter to get that radius,

When you say the passlock is failing, do you mean, the security light is coming
on and sometimes it won't start? if so

Take the hose off of both nozzle sets, then go to the do-it-yourself
car wash. Blast soapy water down the jets backwards -- they are
clogged with crud stuck in the rear of the nozzle, and poking
something down there will just push it off the nozzle until it pops
back up.
