Near death experiance 2X

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

This time on the freeway with my wife and mother-in-law in the car.

not a good time for "WTF was that?" moment.

Since the first time I replaced the groung wire between the block and the chassis, and thought all was well. But now I am thinking a rely is going bad "Ala LKM"

Definetly check around the battery, connections, fusable link and that sort of thing, if you dont find anything check the grounds. Sounds like a stupid intermittant connection to me.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

the fusible link and battery.


The ground does look a little crispy. maybe that's it.

I believe there is also a ground from the engine to the chassis that was fubared on a few cars, they had all kinds of bad stories too.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

A short length that jumps from the body the the block.

But I am still wondering why the dash lite up as if I just started the car.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

where is is it?

They all look alike!

[632 Regal]

c'mon, youve been faking this whole time? Its in the Bently!
I'll dig it out tomorrow if no one else has one handy.

where is is it?

They all look alike!

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

Been there first.

there is no single relay the would appear to intermittantly kill the car.

We had a 3 series that would do this. ( Wonder why I got such a deal at the auction).
After kicking our techs butt's they declared it fixed and I took it on a road trip. At 5 in the morning it started doing this and I finally got off the freeway. An old local guy came up, asked what I was doing and told me a story about a peagot ( not mis-spelled, his pronounciation) doing this. He said the battery had plates loose and would short on bumps or turns.
I changed out the battery and it solved the problem.
