Hi @Crabbnebula, you certainly have your work cut out for you. Mine is a 1990 so I am thinking many of these problems will be different on mine as they did away with the CRT in 1990. However I would suggest you pick up a factory service manual off ebay. There is one on there right now for about $70 https://www.ebay.com/itm/184451391576?hash=item2af228e058:g:VpgAAOSwhXBfYyhG I have the service manual for my 1990 and it has a very detailed extensive electrical diagnosis section with a lot of wiring diagrams, test procedures, etc.

This is interesting. I split the posts about it off into another topic of it's own.

OK spent the $26.99 and downloaded an uncompressed 27.41 MB .pdf with 982 pages (promised a 20% rebate, will just see). It is not a factory service manual,seems more like an XL Haynes manual, but does have wiring diagrams and is searchable. Does not seem to have a section 8. But does talk about a few EDs and BDs but no ED above 12. Does have a trouble code diagnosis section but no overrides. Still something you cold have on a cell phone or tablet when on the road.

Yes, it is a different tool for the bubble type. The nice thing is it is a single step process and it seems much less sensitive to slight errors in fabrication. I use that style for repairs or coupling pieces even if the type of terminal connection is different. Simple to make, even under the car, secure and leak free.

I hope this works. I tried a copy and paste but that doesn't work. I hope this helps explain. The Reatta uses most, if not all connections as the metric bubble or ISO flare. They are very easy to make, especially in a splicing situation. Brake Line Flares: Metric & SAE, Inverted & Bubble - Race & Track Driving (formerly Win HPDE) (racetrackdriving.com)

Whatever you do, don't let anyone talk you into using a compression fitting on brake line tubing.

That's a lot of things to try to diagnose in one topic. I suggest you start a new topic for each problem to avoid confusion.
