Greetings all,

I am SO glad I found this board; thank you for all that I have learned so far.

We will be checking the battery connections/clamps to see if that clears up the problems with the speedometer/odometer, the fuel gauge and the mode selector.

We are thinking of making an offer on a 960 1996; that has been loaned to us by a good friend.

Here are the things that do not work well or at all:
- speedometer/odometer: sometimes works
- mode selector: the light switches constantly between the "W" and the "E" and the lovely arrow flashes on the instrument panel
- fuel gauge is not reliable and reads varying levels within short periods of time
- passenger seat does not move forward or back but the adjustments to raise the seat or adjust the recline angle works

Any other things to try or fix that would solve these problems?

Are any of these likely to be show-stoppers on a purchase?

Thanks to all who give their time to answer questions!
