    Jack handle clip

    Ignition light stays on.

    The ignition light stays on all the time. Everything in the car works and I put a meatier on the battery cables and it reads 13.2v. I don't think this is the original alternator because the wiring has been changed. Any ideas as to why the light stays on all the time?

    What is the trick

    I am on my 3rd SV Alpine since 1989. The one thing I have never been able to figure out is how to easily lock the trunk. The lock sets so close to the bumper I can't get the key into it. So what is the trick.

    I just picked up my new to me SV this weekend. I cant get the passenger seat to stay locked in place. I have not had a chance to start taking it apart yet, but when you put it in place and push down the handle the seat back will move and sound like gears grinding. Just wondering what I should...
