Greetings,
I would have posted this in my project thread, but it doesn't seem to get much attention anymore.
Anyway, 86 Turbo Z. Power to radio only works when the door is closed (dome lamp off). When you open the door, the radio and Navigator go out. Therefore, the Nav/radio will not keep time. When I use the blinkers, the digital clock lights blink with the blinker. When I hit the brake pedal, the lights on the digital clock go dim. Power window only works when the door is closed. The brake lamps are dim.
First answer is always to check grounds. I checked the major one under the hood to the engine block, and the fuel rail to firewall, and the little ground by the battery tray. I checked one by the driver's kick panel.
Is it possible that a faulty head lamp switch could do something like this?
I remember my 87 daytona would randomly make the door chime go off while driving with the headlights on and back then replacing the switch fixed that. The 86 I have now the T-tops leak and there was some signs of water near the switch area.
Any ideas?
thanks!
