Cool Took my ride out! (pics)

I took my ride out of my garage after almost two years!!

But wait!! The headlights won't go down, the temp guage is not working, and there is a mystery brake fluid leak coming from the front center of vehicle. Darn! Back to the garage again for another couple of years! I will register and drive this car someday!!!

Default Nice Looking Vette!

Headlights: First check that the head light over ride switch is UP.
Go under the front and pull down on the "knee" that will close the headlights, just be careful not to pinch your fingers.

You may have a bad seal in the actuator, here's a how to:

Temp gauge:
The wire may be off the sender, check between #1 & #3 spark plug.

Brakes: Your calipers will leak if the car is left to sit for a long time. Apply the brakes each month or drive the car once in a while.
