First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Makes sense, thanks for the suggestion Larry. The car has a new negative battery cable, when I replaced it a couple of months ago, I cleaned the ground between the battery and frame and installed two new ground cables between the frame and the block on both sides of the engine. But supplementing that with a set of jumper cables to test is brilliant. Thanks Chris!
Thanks everyone for your ideas.

I think Larry hit it on the head. Run a temporary ground (jumper cables) between the block and the chassis, and between the chassis and the negative terminal to see if that changes your symptoms.

Check for missing ground connections. A short would blow fuses. A missing ground will cause circuits to work somewhat okay through alternate ground paths until you turn another circuit on, such as a brake light or a headlight that sends more current through the remaining unintended ground connection.
