I've just purchased a 1996 900 auto, turbo, conv, 186,000.
I don't have an owner's manual so I've spent many hours scouring different forums looking for answers. Please be gentle ;-)
1. Why does my AC always come on when I start the car, even though it was off when I shut down the car? Is it programed? How do I program it myself?
2. I have no seat belt chime or turn indicator noise, is this a problem with the speaker in the sid? How do I fix this or where can I find the info? Do I need a new sid?
3. My airbag is disconnected and my horn does not work, should I attempt to repair this by following the steering wheel removal instructions or is it something best left for a mechanic?
4. I was told I have oil leaking from 2 crankshaft seals and as long as I monitor the oil level and its not too bad I should be able to live with it for awhile. Is this correct or is it more urgent?
5. Does the power antenna go all the way down when the car is turned off? Mine remains about 12in up.
6. Should I hear a beep when the conv roof has finished closing (I don't). Does this sound also come from the speaker in the sid.
I've had the car two days and I've already done something quite stupid with it; I ran the ACC calibration twice without starting the car. Wiped out the battery and had to get a boost :-( now my girlfriend thinks I should maybe stick to my day job.
Thanks in advance for any possible help
