I Have a few questions. First, Why can't I get my center console lights to work? Its not ALL the bulbs. Even the little ashtray light under the belt warning lamp in te rear refuses to shine. I am becoming irritated now! My Ciggerette lighter is out too. But, there is juice getting to it, because when i let the + and ground wires touch, it blew that fuse. It has been like this since i Bought the car! And, how do you set the clock on the 6141 tape deck?

On mine the terminals in to the fuse board were loose and needed crimping lightly with pliers. The electrical connections on these cars are getting old and need attention from time to time. pull the fuse box out and have a good look underneath. you might want to disconnect the battery while you do this. check that the relays are firmly located too.

It could also be that the connections inside the bulb holders aren't making contact with the bulbs' connections and are in need of a little tweak with a long, thin thing and a smear of contact grease :)

This was the case with my rear ashtray/console bulb holder. I recently had a major set to, replacing every illumination bulb I could find- dash, switches, console, etc.

It really makes a difference to have full illumination of everything that was intended to be lit up inside the cabin!
