Annoying FC Problems
 
Hello people. When I bought my FC there were small issues that kind of bothered me a little but weren't major. First off, my windshield washer fluid won't come out even though I filled it. Second, my hatch windshield wiper won't work. Third, do they have antennas in the back? Either mine won't pop out or I don't have one because I have no radio signal at all. Lastly, my sunroof is missing plastic piece around the buttons but the buttons are still there with the wires sticking out. Can I buy these piece anywhere? My sunroof also will not open when I press the buttons. It makes noises in an attempt to open but it doesn't open. Sorry for so much but I didn't want to make a post for each one and I really need help with these issues. If anybody knows anything about any of these issues please let me know! Thank you!

Wiper fluid?.Check the bottle connections where the pump is.
Sunroof switch trim?,we have a classifieds.cheap parts,good guys.
Sunroof sticking?Threads on how to fix are in the Sec gen section,you can look up that info.It varies so that is why I am not going to attempt a novel.
Antenna?.yes it is telescopic and should pop up when you turn the STOCK radio on.If you have an aftermarket radio then you need to rewire the relay.
You can put a replacement unit in there too.
The antenna system is a 2 antenna array.One in the windshield and one at the back of the car.The windshield doesn't need to be hooked up as it is like a Local setup anyhow...crappy.

I opted to just put a "rubber ducky" antenna on my FC.I got it at Walmart.it is like 14 inches high.
New antenna and motor are costly.Again used antennas in the classifieds are rather cheap.The thing is you are dealing with 20 year old plus parts with plastic Tracks to operate the motor.
Take it from there.

had the same issue with my washer fluid.... I just replaced the pump and it worked but it may have been bad connection. My 89 had the antenna in the windshield though.....not sure about a pop up. I had plastic trim breaking issues on mine but thats no surprise.

Thank you! This is going to help me a lot! If I have any other questions about any of these...well ummm I don't want to double post but I guess I'll wait for someone else to post to ask more if I'm unsure of anything else. Thanks again guys!
