The same thing has happened two days in a row now. When I get in my Disco and shift into Drive, the fan, radio, clock and other assorted interior electronics die. After anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute later,everything fires right up and works fine.
Intermittent problems are the bane of my existence, if something is going to break, I wish it would just break and stay broken.
Anyone got any ideas? Should I look into sources for live chickens? |

 Intermittent problems are the essence of Lucas. Most of my intermittent faults were caused by fuses that had gone intermittent and were partially blown, if you can imagine that (they looked fine, and tested fine, but obviously were not). Replacing the fuse in question always cured the problem...
...once I found the fuse in question. |

Also, check grounds..... one could be loose, then moves back enough to let everything fire back up...
Just a thought....

Doug, check your battery terminals for "bad" connections. When I first got mine I had a loose negative terminal connection (the terminal post was too small for the cable's connection). I've since learned to check it every week or so and tighten if necessary. Same symptoms too -- no power at all and then everything's fine.
Kluge sold you junk, didn't he? |

Yeah, that bastard! First the tailpipe comes off with just mild driving, then the windshield cracks, and now this! He's lucky that he buys beer when he comes over.
But seriously, thanks for the tips everyone. I'm still going to look into getting a chicken though. |

Doug: Geez, you forgot to mention on this site of your absolute bastardization of hot-wiring your roof rack lights into your fuse box. maybe the melted wires have something to do with it? Hmmm.
I sell junk? I'm a bastard? you make fun of me... you pay the price... my "$20 fee for each winch recovery" is now back in effect.
