That's awesome! I get immense satisfaction from getting the little things like the key/headlight buzzer and key light to work. The first time the headlight buzzer went off it scared me to death because I had no idea the car came with one. :smilielol:

Yea!  :cheers: Now about any LEAKS? LOL

That's why I have drip pans for the cars!


Dano the buzzer! I know! it was intermittent so when it 1st buzz I thought it was a massive short!

Great topic.   :2thumbs: Nice car too. I recall seeing it on the '70Charger registry forum.
Before I tore mine down for an engine rebuild, the only 2 things that didn't work are the key buzzer (Disconnected but does work) and the windshield washer pump since I pulled the reservoir.
Horns, lights, turn signals, brake and reverse lights, stereo, A/C and heater, all gauges too!

Does the cigarette lighter and ash tray light work? :cheers: Beautiful Charger BTW.

Isn't the ash tray light an option ?

Sadly I can't say that this year. Looks great, and the slots look right on it too.

They Do! I use it with a USB adapter to charge my Cell phone!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! No of course I failed to stipulate that "Everything works on the car AT THIS MOMENT" lol, so I'm sure there's still more opportunity's for "fun" ahead

Everything works on all 4 of my cars and never thought anything about it. I always thought it was normal.

Most of my junk works.  Still takes a few tricks to make all the shit work.

I gotta tear into my pass door window tracks since the electric motor always stops like somethings binding.  Need someone to pull on glass while I hit the switch to roll up.  But it works, lol.

My junk needs to be reliable.

Everything worked with my blue Charger.  Of course I had a hand in that.

AK, beautimus as always sir!

All my lights and gauges work on my 69
Only thing not working is the clock but I was not really worried about that because I always un hook the battery so the clock would have to be reset every time

Forgot about my dashlights quitting. 
My hot rod was parked for almost 7 years only starting on occasion. After leaving, D, I had it towed to a buddys shop who got it prepped to ship and for whatever reason, lots of my electrical turned into question marks.  Never had issues prior.

My problem is having all sorts of replacement (another working complete tic toc dash with low miles, lol), perfect survivor woodgrain, etc. all up in the nw.

Its a driver.  Idgaf what others think, lol.  Best part of getting out of factory restos, lol.

Consider yourselves fortunate or I just have bad luck. Even when I was in Highschool in the 80's Every MOPAR I owned had something inop...usually the AC and clock. But, to me Everything working is a big deal  :2thumbs:

Everything works on my 68, even the A/C :)

I can say that, except the clock which I don't care about and it is original.

At 70, my window crank only works a little and it won't go up all the way like it used to. I've tried to get help pulling it up but when I asked the young lady next door she must have thought I didn't wash the grease off cause she said I was a dirty old man. The squirter pump seems to have a mind of its own and when it says its time to go, it just goes ahead without my input. The backup light part never worked much unless I really pushed hard and worst of all when I try to get revved up I forget why I'm doing it and then the squirter pump tells me to get out of the driver seat right away or me and urine trouble. Don't even get me started on the exhaust-and where do you get those exhaust clamps you guys are talking about?

Oh-were we talking about cars?, Sorry.

Friday afternoon and my mind is wandering.

AK-the car is and looks great, and you should be proud. I apologize for the attempt at humor
