My 91 legacy seat belts just started acting up. They both work but the dash light blinks indicating seat belt not on. When sitting and driving I can hear both sides of the belts make a little movement, both sides, can hear and see a little movement. Is this the seat belt computer freaking? Happens to both sides.

My problem was the timing belt when no firing and got gas. Compression was low to non-existent in cylinder 1 as well, timing belt fixed the problem, 0 clearance on that motor, I've learned, so no damage to motor. Good luck.

Here's the thing. The compressor has a tag on it that says use pag 90 oil,... should I use pag @ 8.5 fluid oz as the tag says? will it work with r134a? I'm thinking if the oil is compatible with 134 then I should use that instead of ester? I never read so many conflicting reports on refrigeration oil? Always a challenge isn't it? Thanks for yours and porcupines responses, I really appreciate the help!

Hey Dave, Thanks for the help on my timing belt, everything is working fine. I just started a new thread on a calsonic ester oil amount. If you have time could you take a look. Thanks.

I know I should and will post this on subura stuff for sale but This pretty much stays on subject. When I ordered the compressor I got sent a zexel for a 96 I beleive and the junkyard said to forget about it but it did have a 180 day warranty, if anybody's looking for that part and interested I can post pics to see if it's what you need.

Replacing my 92 legacy calsonic compressor with an ebay bought one. No oil in compressor or I should say very little. I've been reading that you drain the oil and replace oil drained but since the oil was probably drained for shipping purposes I don't exactly know how much oil to put in? I've read ester is best for converting to 134a from r12 and the amount on the compressor says 8.5 fluid oz's. That seems alot to me. Also receiver dryer I am replacing, most say 1 oz of oil? well if any one knows exactly how much and to fill in the suction side? and if I should add once installed or before, then I'll have a shop pull a vac. I didn't have a compressor meltdown just seem a little tired. Any help would be great. By the way because of this forum I've fixed my timing belt, horn, cruise control, windows and keyless. Thanks in advance.

pictures of horn button, slip ring? I have 12 v on round plastic outer ring but not on connector. worn out I suspect, problem is identifying the part and obtaining. I may need the whole ensemble, white plastic ring and outer black plastic with connector. Anybody know what it is I have and where to get?
-
definitely no air bag, fuse is good, power to fuse is good, horns are good, relay is good, power to slip ring, aka clock spring but not from connection. I tested the power before 3 wire on the three grooves and have power but the center piece that holds the 3 tab connector seems worn out, what exactly is that called and where would I get one? I pulled the steering wheel, just to be clear and in center is a round ring with 6 little copper prongs, not making good connection, cleaned up and bent tabs out just a bit but I think plastic housing is worn, can,t seem to exactly identify part or locate. Need help.

Thinking a clock spring is just used for an airbag? So no airbag no clock spring needed?. Looked for relay after taking dash apart, lower part under steering and where manual and other diagrams show, not to be found. One spot a round relay way up in the corner right on firewall next to wheel well is the only chance of a horn relay I've found, have to be a leprechaun to work on. Why would horn work when turning wheel hard left or right? Things that make you go hmmm.
-
Well dam your right, it's registered as a 1992 but the tag on the door says manufactured 7/91, ok well what is the horn problem then? still clock spring, going to check relay but still can't locate, tore dash apart and found no relay. Haynes shows a spot just behind and lower of left vent but I've seen nothing. Some say behind fuse panel, need to take panel off? Any Ideas ole wise one?
-
I mean just use a jump to make horn work, really it's only a positive into a ground. Wondering why there is a relay at all, old horns that I've dealt with have been positive then ground simple, honk, honk, why the relay? unless they're were relays I never had a problem with? Confusing and unnecessary!!?? Why do I always get the stupid little problems? Such an annoyance!! Thanks for all your input, I will let you know my remedies for sure!!!

Yeah, just trying to learn about clockspring, never heard of it before looking into this problem, cruise does not work as well,I can hear the relay click when I press the cruise button on panel , no airbag on this model so shouldn't be to complicated? Seems as though all there is, is a horn button, three wires from column, just don't know what to think, need more education on clockspring. Thanks for your response.
