Does anything else die, or is it just those two things? I would start by checking the voltage and connections at the battery, just to be safe. Then I'd start checking the grounds for both circuits. Even if the grounds look good, try unscrewing things and cleaning them up with a wire brush.
Sounds to me like a bad ground somewhere. bs Sent from my iPad 3 On Apr 12, 2012, at 7:52 AM, [email protected] wrote: > There's a weird new phenomenon with my '94 Spider, and I'm hoping someone can > offer a bit of advice.
