Electrical problems at idle

[Tommo560]

hi everyone,

i have seen this problem mentioned before where people have a problem where when their car is at idle the electronics dont work. i have this problem aswell, that things dont run off the batteries (e.g. headlights wont turn on again unless you turn off the ignition, blinkers dont blink etc etc...). i wanted to know if there is anyway to fix this without having to do a major car overhaul, i mean is it simply an issue of contacts or is it more complicated?

i also have an odd problem where if i push the "Pass" button before the headlights change to high-beam (which takes forever) my "Shift light" on the steering column (after market part) lights up. i'll have to take it apart and have a good look at it.

Cheers,

Tom.

ok,

went and did a thorough analysis last night and i have found that the problem lies in the contacts in the stack on the steering column, so i am off today to get some contact cleener and see if i cant fix this problem for good.
