I have to say that this site is so full of helpful information which lead me to a quickie repair job on a blanked out CRT screen. The function buttons were working, but no display could be seen. The first time this happened I pulled the dash apart, checked the wiring connections and reinstalled everything. It started working again, much to my surprise. It has been fine for the past few weeks, but I let the car sit for a week or so and when I jumped back in to go for a drive.... blank CRT again! I checked the DIY section on CRT and the RAP relays were mentioned as a possible problem, assuming the 25 amp fuse was still intact. Fuse was fine, so I pulled the panel and swapped the two RAP relays from side to side and the display has come back up again! Yay! I assume that the relays are some kind of generic GM/aftermarket part, so I better go line up a couple of them for the future. What could have been grim news, turned out to be a simple fix. Thanks again!

I go to a You Pick yard and get my floor mats there. I look fo any GM car of about our vintage and look for tan [the interior color of my Reattas] and then pick up a can of fabric spray afetr cleaning them spray to match. It won't say Reatta or have the Reatta logo on them but they look and fit right. But then all my cars are "daily drivers" and no show cars.

I haven't seen a Reatta either. Not that it matters much but I looked at the collection in better light this morning and 001 is a red Mustang? I shouldn't admit on an automotive forum that I can't tell a Mustang from a Camaro at a glance is downright embarrassing, but clarity is important.
