Cellar car issue

Undertoad · 06-03-2013, 07:16 AM

The Cellar Car electrical system has always been slowly dying but yesterday's failure is comical. We were driving in the hot afternoon yesterday when suddenly the AC fan quit.

Like a lotta car interior fans, this one works on a knob and has settings from 0 to 4 to vary how hard the wind is blowing. Well the fan only works on "4" now. If you set it from 1 to 3 there is no fan. Set it to 4, and the fan is on, at speed 4.

The knob still controls the AC condenser, because you can hear it turn on when you move it from 0 to 1.

Also I think one of my rear tires is dying. So now we have a race to see whether the Car dies before its appointed end of life in October, when it will fail inspection.

How many miles have you gotten out of it?
