[QUOTE="I_like_turtlez, post: 16968661, member: 204906"] Not to beat said horse(Mustang?) but I see what appears to be a large fuse/cable running back to the cabin, also see some witness marks on wiring looms in the engine bay; take a strong peek into every crevice you can around the header panel(like I should have) and near the wheel wells. Obviously check every switch inside/outside the car, a lot of these fixes are relatively minor but man are they tedious.. my headlight socket pigtails were held on by tape.. *facepalm* The issue is these cars are at best 25 years old, you go to make a small repair & that brittle plastic inevitably breaks half the time Forgot to mention to check under the radiator pressure cap, hopefully it's bright green but if it's darker that's alright so long as you don't see large chunks of crud. I'd advise doing a flush regardless if bought but sometimes that can expose pinhole leaks so be aware of this and check It doesn't look like the car has been lowered so crawl under there and look around for oil leaks front to back(including the steering rack), obviously check the frame rails, the driveshaft is going to have surface rust all over it which is normal since they're raw steel OEM If it were a dealership I would run expeditiously from a spotless engine bay, those snakes(hehe cobra) try to hide leaks..
