Re: Diagnosis of 240 electrical problem 200 93

The light-out light is not uncommon. I have struggled with it on my 1990 sedan for many miles, and now I just igore it. The imbalance in the resistance between the left and right side circuits causes it to come on, basically. Different bulbs, a bit of corrosion, etc. can cause it to come on, when in fact, the lights are shining just fine.

I have not heard of the temp indicator problem showing overheating. Fluctuating temperature can be caused by poor solder joint in the temp compensating board which is behind the dash. These can be resoldered by you to fix the problem. But that is the gauge, not the indicator. I would definitely have this checked out before buying. I could very well be some other key (and more expensive) problem in the cooling system. Good luck.....
