Answers to Questions:

The only Buick systems that are NOT presently working

and need troubleshooting are the speedometer and Wipers;

I drive slowly and never in the rain.


The clock, dome and trunk lights, 2 heaters fans, radio,

and lighters are disconnected because I do not use them,

and to prevent a drain on the battery when the car is not driven often.

I finally found the vintage tube-type [non-working] radio

and installed it on 03.25.2017 and posted an updated

photo of the dash.
