1995-850
I am making this a new thread in case I get some 'new views'. Bottom line: Key out of the ignition, step on brake, headlights and dashlights go ON! Took out the dash to see if I could 'see' anything weird (burned wires, crimped wires)...NOTHING. I can bring the car to the local shop on Monday, but I would love to fix this myself. It's just that I don't know where to start. Considering I know nothing about electricity...what do you all suggest? I am kinda scared to hook up the battery. Each time I do and step on the brake, I fear that wires are frying somewhere. Does the fact that the lights and dash lights go on when the brake is applied mean anything? A particular 'system' that I can explore? Relay? etc.? Sorry about the repetition, but I want to drive my car.
