Ghost in the Machine, electrical woes 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Kirby on  Tue Sep 25 17:12 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Here's one for you. This evening I'm driving along and had to slam on my brakes, emergency style. Of course this is no problem for the 240. But this time when I slammed on the brakes my headlights went out. All lights, dash, running, brake and headlights. If I set the light switch to the running (middle) position all of the aforementioned work, except of course the headlights. When I then switch to full on position, nothing. The third brake light is not affected either way, it keeps working. I also noticed that my brights will not stay on. To get home I just held the brights lever back and drove. I'm stuck, I even went into a large parking lot and drove fast and slammed on the brakes, in hopes of perhaps reversing what ever damage these gremlins have caused.
