Pulled out on the highway on the way to dinner for my B-Day. Accelerating in 3rd gear, car cut off and lost all electrical power. The only thing that works are the headlights. Had car towed home, just got back in from checking/changing Main 80A fuse. No luck. Ihave headlights and nothing else. I will need to troubleshoot tomorrow. Any ideas?

Do these cars have a fusible link? Could be a flaky connection at the battery?

Rob x-7 07-17-2003 09:09 PM

wiring at the starter, you did a conversion perhaps you forgot to tighten

them up?

12V+ At the starter, 12V+ at the realy plug, 0 volts at the IGN. Switch, changed relays, no help.

Changed MAin Relay with 2 Spares, still no voltage to the IGN Switch

vierd, i thought that the power comes from the battery ->fusebox under the hood -->main relay -> ign switch?

Connector X-23, Main to front harness connection, had rubbed raw against the brake line, All the plastic around the connector flowed into it. Car now starts. I have to go splice in new connectors
