I posted last week on the problem I was having with my amp lite going on. I did replace the ignition switch. I did put in a new fuel pump relay. I did check all connections including alternator/belt.

I did not mention a very strange electrical problem that I thought was related to a faulty ignition. The idiot lites go on as I turn on the ignition, but ONLY if my heater fan is turned off. Otherwise, only the "amp" lite goes on as I turn the key in the ignition. With he fan "off"..no problem.

I do know that the heater fan was replaced with a newer type.. there is a big hole on the passenger side that has been duct taped (where the blower motor was swapped out). I'm assuming that the person who did the job did not wire the hot lead correctly. I'm tracking down that problem shortly.

The problem sometimes with the older cars is that you never know how things were done before...Thank goodness the overall integrity of the car is good.

Thanks again for your suggestions. It has really helped. My 16 year old daughter is very happy that she can continue to practice her driving in "her" car.
