What you have is a loose or corroded ground circuit .

You will need to contact me at:

In order for me to provide you with pictures and and electrical schematic to find and fix your problem since this board does not allow sending pictures.

PLEASE include your original question(s) and the MAKE-MODEL-YEAR and ENGINE SIZE of your vehicle when you contact me.

PLEASE tell me if you do your own repairs and or your skill level of auto repair. This is VERY VERY important if I am to be able to help you repair your own vehicle or have to take it into the shop for repairs.

NOTICE: If you have a digital camera or someway of sending pictures of your problem area and or what the fault codes are displaying if asked for fault codes please do so as this will be a TREMENDOUS help in helping you.
