Re: Yes, another Dead Wagon! 200 80

Tim,

You don't have to be a dealer, shop or rocket scientist to tract this problem. I would start at the batery and check all of the conections. Then move along each wire you see. Check any loose conections and wires. Let the previous owner work for you. Look for any place on wires that have electrical tape. When you find these places, trace the wire back to the source. Replace it if necessary. Be sure to check the wires comming to the alternator. Also, be sure that you don't have a broken enging grounding strap.

Without looking at the car, or being there, it is imposible to make a good diagnosis, but I think you have a bad ground. In this model there is a strip on one of the fenders under the hood with a bunch of relays and grounds pluged into it. Check to make sure this is grounded without any corrosion. Buying the multimeter is a good idea you will need one.

Good Luck.

Thanks

Peter
