Questions about a 95 Escort

KidNotch4793 · 09-16-2001, 06:37 PM

I got my winter car a couple weeks ago, it's a 95 Escort. Its a base model 5 speed with no options, which is perfect for a winter car. My question is this: there is no tachometer... I'd like to add one but I don't know what kind of red line this thing has.. so where do I start?

One other thing about this car is it has automatic seat belts (stupidest thing ever invented). THe driver side is completely messed up and locked into the rear position. The passenger side functions most of the time but it doesn't always let the passenger out.. Do any of you have any insight on how to go about fixing these things?

I don't know what redline it has either, check with the guys at www.escortracing.com There are a couple posts that relate to that subject in there I'm sure.

I can help you with the seatbelt problem, but it has to be done in steps. First step, remove the drivers seat. Disconnect the passive restraint module (it was under the seat). Measure the resistance between the door catch switch and the module (drivers side - BL/Y wire. Passenger side - BL/O wire). Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Post the answer, and we'll go from there.

Take care
