Re: emissions maintenance light
The 88 will have a timer that sets every 80k miles - the shop manual
says to disconnect it after the first pass as it is no longer required
(their emissions responsiblity required it to set then). There is a
web site that tells you how to reset it but it's much easier just to
pull the @#$% module out and be done with it. Under the dash, left
side of the column, little black box. Mine was Velcroed in place.
Unplug it. Test - you may have unplugged your intermitent wiper
module <g>.

Re: emissions maintenance light
This may sound stupid but you simply unplug the two connectors going into
the timer module for it under he dash in the area of the steering column and
plug them together eliminating the timer. It can't be reset and the official
way was to replace the timer.
