Thanks for the info.
The wire harness looks to be in good condition. I can't see any cracks on it so far, I will spray everything with cleaner and look closer (after I disconnect the battery of course).
The temperature gauge can be fixed by punching the dash, that makes me think there is a broken spring in it that defaults to hot. Is there also a temperature warning light that will come on if it starts to overheat? I don't drive the car hard and don't need to know the exact temp, I just need to know when it is overheating.
The same can be said for the oil pressure, I see that it stays at 3 with the car turned on, this likely is not correct either.
The ABS light was on when I got it, now it is off and the SRS light is on. So I'm not ruling out the harness just yet.
Can the OVP relay be tested to verify it is working correctly versus replacing it? I have read that the connections can develop cracks that can be re-soldiered.
The car has 260k miles on it. Do you recommend changing the tranny fluid and filter for good measure or leave it alone?
I'm also looking for a good source to pick up odds and ends for this car. For instance, the chrome trim that goes on the passenger front door and a power window switch for the same.
After realizing all the parts I need to buy I'm starting to think I paid too much for this car at $1400. Opinions? It does ride better than any other car I have ever owned.
