intermitent fault

Postby grump » Mon Nov 17, 2008 5:28 am

wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, start the car, then go to put the widows down, turn the wipers on, turn the aircon on. nothing. turn the ignition off and back on again, eveything works as normal. I'm thinking its ignition switch. beat me with the idiot stick if its something simple

I have had this happen a couple of times in my NA. Hasnt happened for a while now.


I just usually turn off and on again and it works fine.

I believe it may be an issue with the BCM i used to have the same problem in my Xr6 Falcon

sounds like a worn ignition barrel switch. pretty common problem, especially if you have a heavy set of keys hanging off the ignition barrel.
