fuses....or gremlins?

check all the fuses both inside the car and inside the engine bay, replace the blown ones if any. that's a good start to trying to find your problem...

You may wanna check the fusible links up there by the battery also. IIRC, if the main one pops, you are left with next to nothing.

nevermind, i changed 6 or 7 fuses , in her, nothing changed, she wouldnt start. the power was on and off for no reason i could find, it just blinked.
so i was like that guy in the movie "back to the future". "come on, baby start" i hit my head on the steering wheel, and promised her nothing but, "premo gas" amoung other things. to my amazement she fired up on my next turn of the key!! im not sure why, but my car works again ( along with alot lights i never knew i had ) i guess there must be a bad ground somewhere. the terminals on the battery are greasy, but clean. thats all i know. she good now and im leaving her, i guess.

thanks for trying
