In Reply to: You might need to add a ground to taillight ass'y, Jon [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 26 Sep 2009 06:14:10

Well, it seemed to work for a few days after adding the tail light ground, but now it's acting up again. Here are the symptoms...

- Radio cuts out during braking and sometimes just while driving.
- Headlights come on when the brake pedal is depressed and head lights are off.
- Headlights go off when brake pedal is depressed when switch in in the on position. Jiggling the knob fixes this.
- SRS light is on an flashing (This is recent).
- Ignition will cut out, and fire right back up while driving, leaving ABS idiot light on.
- Ignition will cut out and car will stall at idle, particularly when the cooling fans come on.

The car has been doing this since I bought it about a year ago. Since then I've tried the following fixes, none of which worked.
- New ignition switch
- New fuel injection relay
- New fuel pump relay
- New air cleaner, fuel filter, spark plugs,
- tail light ground fix.
- I've also cleaned many of the grounds in the engine compartment, and G3 in the trunk.
