What Fresh Hell is THIS?
Freshening up my gauge console and replacing the oil gauge required I removed the cluster...
After removing it I noticed a more than usual accumulation of dust and dirt on top of my org AM/FM stereo radio.... Upon further inspection it seems the oil pressure gauge was leaking and oil was dripping on top of and into the radio (probably for a long time.)
I removed the radio to find oil all inside and especially in the radio bulb socket (I was looking to replace the bulb since I had everything apart).
I have not opened the radio yet but how do I clean the oil out of the inside components?
Last I used the radio it worked... I dont want an aftermarket radio.
