    Nice-looking car. Too bad about the windows. If all four are not working, presumably a not-too-difficult fix?

    Wonder why the rear wheel s blocked with a brick? Driveway does not appear to be steep. Hum?

    Most likely it's the relay on top of the steering column mounts that gives power to the feed. Or the circuit breaker connection at the fuse box (depending on how it was done in '85...).

    And I've been noticing the "brick\wood\something behind a wheel" a lot more often lately too. I can't imagine it would be necessary with an automatic, especially when the place it's parked on isn't a giant hill.

    Anyone else notice the power seat switch? Hanging and looks like the seat is all torn up in that area. Tom

    Good point. I wonder what's going on. There seems to be several electrical issues with this car.
