  1. In my case, I was replacing the battery and since the positive (red) terminal to the battery was missing and someone had cobbled up a substitute so I had two blacks instead, forgot which was positive and which was negative and naturally, guessed wrong and caused a short. I quickly realized my mistake and switched them having noticed a few wisps of smoke from the old alternator. Then I discovered I had no dash display at all and feared I had done serious damage. I got a replacement cable for the positive and replaced the assembly hoping it would fix it and of course, it didn't. Then I began my search for all the fuses, fusible links and relays checking them as I went, discovered there was another fuse block underneath the one on the cabin floor, passenger side and found a blown fuse expressly for the dash displays that was clearly blown. Imagine my relief when as soon as I put in a new fuse, I began to hear a steady series of clicks and presto, everything worked again. It was the inner block, the lowest row. I still had to replace the alternator but I really hope the solution to your problem is so simple.

  2. I would perform the tests for the accumulator in the how to guides on this site. Here is the link: https://reattaowner.com/roj/component/content/article/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=64:brakes-mechanical&id=172:accumulator-testing-instructions You can still get accumulators off ebay for a couple hundred bucks. You can check the ABS codes pretty easily. Here is that instruction: https://reattaowner.com/roj/component/content/article/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=84:brakes-electrical&id=169:how-to-check-abs-codes

  3. Did you say you put in a known working IPC? When I bought my 1990 it had the error 00 display. It would occasionally work but mostly didn't. Everything would light up with the test button, but I did get a replacement one that has worked ever since. The test button verifies that all the display lights work but not neceasarily that the IPC works.

  6. No pontiac goat, 2seater, but that barn was full of dairy goats in years past. Hence the goatman moniker. I wish it referred to a GTO!

  7. This goatman, Charles McCartney, had plenty of them. He use to come through our county about once a year with his goats pulling this rig.

  8. WOW, I wish I could convey the amount of thanks I have for all of the help given. I was not aware the CPS even existed, and will look for a solution tomorrow and HOPEFULLY report a successful repair! Those diagrams are awesome, thank you.

  10. Also just got in a PC9 Standard crank sensor for back up inventory. I sometimes think I have more Reatta specific parts then the local parts houses...

  11. East TN is a nice place to live if you like to get out and drive and enjoy the scenery like I do. We have the mountains with wide valleys in between like this one which is called the Sequatchie Valley. That gives me a choice of driving where it is relatively flat like this place with beautiful views of the mountains or going up in the hills and mountains where the back roads are very curvy and a lot of fun to drive on. The first picture I posted shows the mountains on one side of the valley and the last photos shows the mountains on the other side of the valley. From the little church sitting on a knoll in the middle of large pasture fields you get a panoramic view of it all. It's spectacular in the Fall when the leaves have peaked in color.

  12. No photos have been posted for a while so here goes. About every year my wife and I drive on a long gravel road that winds it's way for a mile or two through pasture fields and it dead ends at a little church where some of her relatives are buried. Hardly ever see a car on that road so we can just creep along and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We go so slow you could almost walk along beside the car. We took these photos at the end of last summer. We usually park behind the church near the graveyard and just stand there and take in the view. One of the most peaceful places I know of.

  13. Welcome Mark. I see that your white '91 has the optioned white wheels (a $100 option strait from the factory but available only with the white exterior).
