Well yesterday I was driving and the ignition cut out, the car didn't die, i just lost the tach and all my power inside the car. I had the power wire and the remote turn on lead loose in my trunk, my buddy was supposed to tape em up, but he forgot. I'm thinkin one of those wires touched some metal or something and caused a short? The weird thing is that if I touch the power to the remote turn on lead, I get ignition, then I can turn the key and start it. Is this a blown fuse? Or a problem in the ignition line somewhere? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I need my car by monday, so this is kind of urgent.

Check all your wiring for the remote turn on, from start to finish. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods

It is a possibility that the ignition fuse is blown and the ignition is drawing power from the battery through the remote turn on for the stereo. I just bought an SVT and have yet to get the shop manual or work on the electrical so I can't verify this theory. 99 Silver SVT no mods (yet) 99 Silver CSVT #1081/2760 97 Nissan Altima 83 Corolla SR5 RWD bondo/rust body 'ghetto cruiser' RIP 78 Winnebago Minnie (Dodge Chassis 23') 440cid 4bbl.
