What happens if the seal is compromised?  No heat?  No cold?  Mold?

The seam on the bottom of the new core seems to be longer.

Well, the cruise will not work.  Tried 3 different modules.  Wiring checks good.  Signals check good at the module.  But, it doesn't matter, because there is no fuel at the gas stations.

Still need tires.

Still no cruise.  Running out of things to try.

There are two things to check.  There is a small circuit board in the turn signal stalk that could be bad, then there's the module on the left side of the tunnel, near accelerator pedal.  Be sure the column wire is plugged up.

It's a digital cruise.  I know about the module by the accelerator, but that is eliminated with the digital cruise, I believe.  The stalk has been replaced.  No change.  I thought the ECM would show something for the cruise, but apparently not.  Tried Oliver's method and Darth's method.  Looking at what f85gtron did, and Klingon Fiero.  Already checked the inhibitor wire.

It would seem that the issue could be one of the 2 brake wires.  One should be hot, except when braking, and the other only when braking, if I understand correctly.

About to give up on the cruise, for now.  Trying a fourth module, this week.  Once there is gas at the stations, it'll be driven 300 miles for testing, and then I'll drive my Fiero home, whatever condition it's in.

Apparently, there are 2 types of AR digital cruise modules: those that work in a Fiero, and those that don't.

The correct model AR would seem to be model 25161588A--not the AR module from the 3800s.  Some people report that the 96-99 Cadillac Northstar has a cruise module that will work.  My original AR came from a Celebrity. I'm going to switch to one from a 95-98 Lumina.

Not from the factory.  Some have installed a Cruise advisory light in that little unused rectangle at the upper right of the instrument panel.

Wrong color, huh?



It's a good idea, though.  I'd like to do something similar with the coolant.

I think I remember someone saying that one came from a Dodge truck.  Looks like what was in my truck.  My Ford has a green circle with a pointer at 11 o'clock.  Dont remember what the Grand Prix had bit I think it was the word.

My Chevy has the green circle with an arrow at 11 o'clock, also.

Where does the low coolant indicator come from?

I don't know.  I'm sure my truck probably has it, but I've never experienced it.

My wife's Escape shows a little picture of a radiator if the coolant is low. I guess car makers figure people can't read. But what about those that don't know what a radiator is?

Yeah, those images could be many different things.
