Electrical Problem has me fed up !!! '88 Vert
I need help with an electrical problem on my vert.... you know of anyone that is good
These are my symptoms:
Since I bought the vert two years ago the turn signals work when the parking lights are off .. when i press the brake pedal they stop blinking.
When my headlight is on my turn signals do not work at all.. so driving at night becomes a problem because people here in Miami love to tailgate or dont know what a safe following distance means.
- When my headlights are on and I turn the ignition off the engine will not shut down unless i turn off the lights.
- Lately I have fried two sets of Headlight switches on the surround cluster and its always the same two wires on the personality plug: The Red this wire w/ black stripe and the one next to it which is a beige wire w/ green stripe. The fuses are all fine.
But now my new problem is I can turn on the parking lights and headlights while the car is turned off (ignition off) and i have to flip the high beam lever to get them to turn on but once i press the brake pedal to stop all the lights turn off... and they wont turn on again unless i turn the ignition off and restart the process....
You can imagine the mission driving back home from Amelia Earhart Park Sunday night.. I had no lights all the way back to Kendall...
I have been waiting on Phil for over 4 months to do the work on my car but he is always too busy after all he was the previous owner of my vert.... and I need someones help...
Someone who is pretty handy with this sort of stuff..
