  1. Tried to put up the ones I took... Too big. I'll take new ones tomorrow. Any insight?
  2. So I've been working on the Quest and have been wondering about the steering wheel since I bought it. It looked like it had a cover on it, so I just assumed it was a mess underneath. Well the more I looked at it, the more it dawned on me that the cover was leather and obviously professionally installed since it was sewn and looked like it could have been factory installed. Since it was trashed, I started to pull the threads... I found an absolutely PERFECT wheel underneath. Was this leather wheel cover factory installed, or did one of the previous owners have it professionally installed? Either way... To me it seems I have scored a win... In an otherwise mess of a car so far. Thoughts, or info if factory?
  3. Thanks for all the welcomes and the info. I work a ton of hours so on my down time I've been trying to get some of the major issues figured out. I'll tell you that I've been on many forums in the past (Jeep related) and have never gotten quite the positive responses like here so far. Seems like we have a good group of people here. Thanks.
  4. Thanks Texas. Gonna try tracing the wire and make sure its not cut somewhere. The sensors seem good, but the gauge doesn't move. Thanks pcristquester. Definitely not rich... Probay a little insane... But that helps with the brave part.
  5. Hey all. Just got an 87 Conquest. It needs a bunch of work... A bunch!!! But that's why I bought it. I needed a project to keep me busy. I've already started on a few things... Rebuilt the turbo, replaced tires, fixed a few cosmetic things and so on. I'm no mechanic and I will be looking for a lot of advice and info. So far this looks like the place to get it. To start with I'm trying to figure out why the engine temp gauge isn't working. I've already tested the t-stat, and the 3 thermistors near the thermostat housing. All seem to be good. But I don't know which one is for the temp gauge. There are two single wire and one 2wire in the pic. Any help would be appreciated.
