Cougar Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The light switch makes a ground return for the lights. The trouble may be with the switch. I suspect a bad connection is heating up and causing the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Could also be the ignition switch. My '85 BRAT will startup and idle as normal, but at times,, some of the "key on" functions don't work. Turn the key a bit, and things work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheaT_BeeR_MaN Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 ya i think it might be the ignition switch it does seem to have problems but i havent been able to make it work any way other then letting it cool down. it doesnt ever shut down while they r on. just when i turn the car off then on again after being warmed up.

TomRhere Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Still, next time it does it.. Try twisting the key just a tad more, either dirrection. See if it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
