What did you do to your Mopar today?

Have to remove the pad again, bump in the middle came back. After thinking about it, when I put the pad on, and install the nuts hand tight, pad lies flat. After tightening them up some the bump comes back. I think the nuts on the end are pulling the ends in causing the center to buckle. Hopefully I can pull it off, straighten it out, and put in on hand tight, and then only tighten it a half turn more. And maybe it won't buckle.

I finished my console courtesy light mod for Grendel.

Yesterday on my A100 I removed the dash cover of the gauges to clean the bulbs and the reflective area around them and the glass so that maybe the lighting and viewing of the fuel gauge would be better. The fuel gauge is the farthest away from the bulb on that side and it's hard to see at night. Sorry I didn't think of taking a pic of the whole dash to show you. Looks like I'll have to put an LED to brighten it up.

While cleaning I bumped the amp gauges needle and noticed later it looked like it was leaning out towards the steering wheel a tad and tried to correct but noticed also how delicate it was and decided to leave well enough alone for now. Eventually put it all back together not catching the needle touching the viewing glass.

Today I'm traveling around town and saw the amp gauge on a slight discharge and thinking Uh Oh, have we thrown the new belt, ...voltage regulator died, now what!. So I pulled the lights on to see if the gauge would show more discharge and NOPE! it didn't even move! WHAT! So I thought I must've moved the connectors on the back of the amp gauge while changing the bulb next to it. Waited for the battery to slow down on restarts and, it didn't. So finished my town business and went home.

Pulled the dash cover and noticed the needle moved outward towards the wheel and said Ah, ...NO WAY. Hooked the battery back up and pulled the lights on a Wa La,...I'll take that easy fix any day. Delicately bent the needle back towards the gauge face and life is good!

Wow, it doesn't take much to bind a needle's movement!

I got my blue front inside door panels degreased & scuffed, then masked off to be painted black with SEM Color Coat.
