Pulled the key out, put it back in and started just fine. Anyone got any ideas, incase I get stranded in the next few days?? I wouldn't be so worried but the whole lights flickering on and off was kind of weird. 98 DI w/ 63K. Thanks guys   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior member Username: Carter Post Number: 1796 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 10:12 pm:    Ohhh yeah, I'm thinking bad ground but I inspected all the ones I know of and they appear ok. If anyone else has this same hunch do you have any suggestions for a particular one to look at??   Christian Cartner (Cartner) New Member Username: Cartner Post Number: 8 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 10:14 pm:    Break out the chicken and the holy water....   thom mathie (Muskyman) Senior member Username: Muskyman Post Number: 123 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 11:42 pm:    sounds like a short at the alternator
