Q – The wipers on my 1990 C4 just stopped working. I have to drive the car so I am afraid to get stuck in the rain. I checked the fuse and it is fine. Gary A – The most common problem that I have seen is dirty contacts in the switch itself. I have…
Q – I just got my 1992 Carrera 4 out for the summer and what a surprise. The taillights on the left side don’t work and I can see water inside them. The dome light fell out and it doesn’t work. I am also getting a “light show “on my dash. Numerous warning lights are…
