Recommendations on Preventative Maintenance 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Onkel Udo on  Tue Nov 9 18:56 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Lots of good suggestions but couple that have sidelined me before:

While you are changing the accessory belts and likely the accessory bushings or while you are under the car doing the motor mounts, remove and inspect the the alternator ground wire. Almost no one believes me when I tell them that this is one of the most common causes of intermitent charging issues. Do not inspect it in place...remove it to inspect it.

Remove all fuses, re-tension the fuse holders and replace the fuses...probably a couple of fuses with show enough wear on the tips to warrant replacement.

Remove, clean and reinstall all exterior bulbs after cleaning their bulb holders. Replace lenses or gaskets on any locations with hints of standing water on the reflectors.
