Fourth Generation 1993-2002 / 4th gen brake recommendation

« Last post by 76455sd on May 26, 2024, 08:23:31 PM »

My brakes are shuddering a bit on hard deceleration. My mechanic said no sense working on the existing as I should upgrade rotors and. Calipers. Any suggestions on good ones for the car? I just want some quality units and upgrades but don’t do any really aggressive driving.

Thanks.

It's a live wire from headlight switch only. Push prongs against metal somewhere and should light up.

Oh maybe I should be testing it then when it’s inserted into the gauge housing.  I had been testing it with the socket pulled out of the housing.

Common? Doubt it. I added one. Had to make diagrams of where or forget.

Just checked, Cardone 20-FLT1 is what I have. Like an A/C orifice tube.

It grounds through the gauge housing, and the ground cones from the voltmeter plug. There's a terminal on the back that is bolted straight onto the case, the rest are insulated.

That's a single wire bulb isn't it? Has the metal spring prongs into rear of gauge housing. Make sure it's grounded, or has the gauges connected.

Correct.  I don’t see any ground wire that is attached to that gauge cluster (like there is from the
main cluster- is there supposed to be one?

Sorry to hear. 

Crazy to think but even the young guys that started on the forum are middle age now.  Live everyday to the fullest everyone.
