Had a fun electrical system problem develop the other day. First the CD player began to skip and restart, followed almost immediately by the radar detector shutting itself off and on again. I disconnected the latter and shut the former off as I was on the road to work and figured I’d look at it later.<\/p>\n
Of course, upon starting the car up that night after work, I discovered that my headlights, parking lights, interior lights, radio and cigarette lighter were all non-functional. Not a good situation when the Ohio nights are coming ever so much earlier as winter approaches.<\/p>\n
The eventual solution was to trace the wiring from the battery down to the starter, where the lighting fusible link diverges off. There I discovered the wiring wasn’t properly seated in the ring connector, due to the mechanic who replaced the fusible links in a previous post. A quick re-crimp and everything was all better.<\/p>\n
