Thread: Some insight needed...I think I know what my problem is

Well I was going to say one of two things. The only time I have seen that happen is with a Stage 2 Voltage booster and the ignition switch going bad. Since you dont have the voltage booster my vote is for the ignition switch.

Hmm...well, I do have a voltage booster of sorts. I did the "free" mod and soldered in a diode. Bascially the same thing. But mine is less than a stage 1 I would say. Before I did the mod, I got around 14.4V. Now I get 14.5V sometimes. But nothing huge. And it has been like this for the past 2 years without issue.

About 1.5 years ago, I did have a couple times where I would start the car and my DIC, radio, and blower motor would not work. Shut the car off and restart and everything was fine. But it hasn't done this in a long time. I had always planned on cleaning the ignition switch to get rid of the carbon. I even have the instructions printed out and the screws for the steering column cover removed. But since it hasn't given me any trouble since then, I never did it. Maybe a job for this weekend....
