Hello all,

My '91 is low on coolant. I've only qwned it for a couple of months  so
this is the first time I've added some. My question is about the type of
antifreeze to use. i have some Prestone Low-tox antifreeze. The bottle
is labeled as safe for all metals. Is this the phosphate-free I've been
reading about?

I also have a problem with the interior lights. The van is a Carat model
and has the interior lights running the length of the headliner. When I
have them set to turn on when the door is opened they flash when I'm
driving down the road, not all the time or steady just irratically.
I haven't tried to fix this yet. I was thinking maybe the door switch.
Is this a good place to look or is this a common problem that's cause
lies elsewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Later, Bill
'91 Carat
Kansas
