Results from electrical gremlins....(Long) Posted by JEMSaab [Email] (#1053) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JEMSaab) on Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:37:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
First of all, thanks to Ari and Keith for your help on what I thought was the ignition switch. The problem was the digital clock reset almost every time I turned the key off, the headlight switch was spazzing out on me. The radio code would need to be entered at random times. The ignition was blipping as I turned the key, along with many other electrical things. Ari suggested the ground point G8. All signs pointed to it, so I checked it and was a little thrown off when I found it was tight as can be. Nice and clean, neat wires, no frays or corrosion. So I removed the dash top and looked around to find that the headlight switch was falling apart. As soon as I touched it, it fell apart. The clear green shielding had cracked and wouldn't hold everything together. So I super glued it back and clipped it together, re-installed and all is well. I should have known..the headlight switch was really touchy when I moved it at all from position to position. Now after fixing the switch is very tight feeling and almost stiff, but in a good way. Thanks again guys!
