Man..... I''''m a member of several forums but none are this inactive. [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

In case there''''s anyone here who might know..... I''''ve got a ''''95 Regal (4dr - 3.8 L)</span> and the instrument lights are very dim (@ 100% intensity)</span> and also the power antenna is stuck in the up position. Any common fixes for either??? Also.... what''''s the preferred spark plug type/style?

Thanks to anyone who is alive and responding!! [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

The instrument panel lamp problem is most likely because the dimmer is bad. On our 97 the dimmer is part of the headlight switch and when this happened on ours the traces on the switch were visibly burnt.

The antenna itself is likely the problem. Try running power directly to the the conector. If it still doesn''t work both ways it''s the antenna. If you can get it working correctly it could be anywhere from the radio back.

As to plugs, I like to go with OEM. This is a waste spark system and half the plugs see a reverse polarity. For best results use what GM specifies.
