Anthony, Your electrical problem is a bit easier to check out. If you lose power to everything and have a good battery the fault is in the secondary power feed. The primary feed is the big black wire from the positive battery terminal to the starter solenoid. The secondary feed which powers everything else in the car other than the starter solenoid is the white wire that comes of the solenoid with the fusible link in line. It goes to the alternator (batt connector) and to the fuse box connector that's just in front of the fuse box. If you have an Amp meter installed this is the line that the common type of Amp gauge is plumbed into, so check out the connections on the gauge as if they're lose this will cause a total blackout. Clean up all these connections especially the fusible link and you shouldn't have any more black outs. While your cleaning things up, take a few minutes to do all of the primary earths, i.e. battery to block and the battery or harness to body which is usually near the front of the drivers strut tower just behind the standard position for the battery. terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tuting, Anthony Sent: Friday, 24 November 2000 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Headlight trrouble here too (long n pointless) OK since the subject is on the line I might as well give my headlight problems too. One night after cruising around with some mates I dropped one of them home, just after I was driving down the road and flicked on the high beams, imediately the car stalled all instruments and lights went out and I was left rolling around the road in the dark. I stopped the car, popped the bonnet and couldn't see anything that was loose with the lights or wiring. I jumped back into the car turned the ignition off and then tried to turn it over and it went straight away, now I was thinking this is soooo weird but kept driving home and then it happened again so while I was rolling I turned the ignition off and turned it on again, and off we went. Since then it has only happened once and now seems fine. I'm thinking its probably a crappy switch in the steering column blinker/high beam toggle, anyone heard of this before or can diagnose it ?
