Need more information 200 1990

Meri--

Are you saying all the warning lights come on at the same time?

And when do they come on--when you turn the key to "on" or to "start"? While the engine is running? Do they come on at random, or when you turn on certain items like the heater fan?

At this point it's pretty much a guess, but I think the problem may be in your ignition switch. Most of the electrical circuits on the car run through there. Eventually the contacts wear out and strange things start happening. If so, the part containing the contacts can be replaced under the dash without the mechanic (your dad) having to take the lock cylinder and steering wheel interlock apart. At least my 1980 is set up this way.

How many miles on your car? Original ignition switch?

Good luck.

Doug Harvey
