| New to this forum I have to ask what the major differences are between the 95 and the newer Rivs. I have a 95 now to go with my 63 and I have lots of questions. It has many issues that I am sure someone may be able to help me solve. I will start with something simple like why don't the interior lights come when I open the doors? | |

| OK No takers on that 1st post yet so I will step it up a bit. As far as the interior lights are concerned they come on when I turn the light switch so I know they work. They do not work when I open the door. What activates them when the door is opened? Next, Is the trunk supposed to open when I hit the trunk button on the door? It does not. Anyone had that problem? Next: it is winter here in Maine so perhaps this will change with spring and summer but whenever I open the truck there is a huge amount of moisture on the inside of the truck cover and it is usually dripping wet. What would cause that? I have six cars and it does not occur on any of the others. Next: my cruise control does not work. How do I check it out? I have a shop manual and I have checked the fuses. This Riv has only 60K on it. It came from Florida with all the maintenance paperwork in the glove box so I called the lady who owned it to see if she had any of these problems with it and she assured me she had not. | |

| If you open the trunk and look on either side, there is a seam, outboard of the weather stripping. That seam was leaking on my car. I used clear silicone to seal it, and my trunk has been dry ever since. | |

| The big difference about the '95s is that the Supercharged model had a Series I 3800, the N/A model has a Series II 3800, and both have OBD 1.5. '96 and newer all have Series II 3800s and ODB-2. | |
