Seems I've jinxed Belle Isle; went there today and for the first time that I've seen or others I've asked, there was a lady there from MDNR checking...

And we just replaced the water pump about 500 miles ago so everything's gotta come back off :banghead:

This is what i was thinking as well. Aero hood and trunk lights are mercury switches and it's part of the socket and not big at all.

Appreciate the insight!

The bulb socket has the mercury switch in it. The switch doesn't take up much of any room.

Yup. Timing cover gasket. That sucks.

Top right corner of the timing cover, only does it after driving for a while and shutting off

There must be a spring loaded plunger type switch somewhere along the edge of the fender. Follow the wire from the hood light. WagonMan

Pete bulb in my car just goes into the bulb socket, there is no housing??

Ah, I was thinking the third light was up at the top near the hinge, not in the middle.

There is a seal between the pump and cover and another between the cover and block, so it could be leaking at either. The trouble with the block to...

Yes the grills are the same 88-91. There was 2 grills offered, one for the LS models,(gray) and one for the GS models,(black). WagonMan

I'd don't know, I bought the car with a radiator leak so I didn't drive it at all before replacing the water pump, radiator, etc

Did you have the leak prior to doing the water pump? Appears others have alluded to this question. If not, you then have your answer.

Haven't done that gasket because this car's kinda just a budget beater for now until I can get the engine pulled out of my 91 and reseal it

Did you do the timing cover to block gasket? If not, that's likely your culprit.

Yeah... that's not an easy fix to try to run that up to the top and install a light from the ceiling. Might be worth putting some silver (conductive)...

Unless it corroded through the outer casing of the sensor, no. But they do fail without that happening too, so worth the replacement since you're...

I looked and when I've been driving for a while, there's tiny bubbles on the top edge of where the timing cover mounts to the block, but it only...

Check the thermostat housing for leaks. My 87 has a little leak there as well.

Should.

It's a clamshell type tailgate, if you didn't know. I dunno how you'd do what you said. The spring contact crap is in the middle on top of the metal...

The switch is in the housing where the bulb goes. When you open the hood, the ball of mercury slides down to make contact so the light comes on. I...
