    I just swapped the ignition, blower, and blower motor resistor. What the hell is going on with this thing?? I read that is can be the crank angle sensor but i just wanna make sure before I go and do it.

    Yea i heard that to but i just put in a new one and I live in Mass so we need the heat for the winter but i checked all the fuses and those are good. I cannot pinpont where the problem is. One if the fuses for the climate control doesnt even have power going through it so I dont know where to start on that. I've heard that the Crank sensor goes bad and gives you the headlight problem but could it also have something to do with my Climate control?? Its a 98 GTP by the way with auto climate control.

    I had the same issue on my 02 GTP. After scouring the wire diagrams the only common circuit location was the ignition switch. I changed that and have not had a problem since.

    Ok so here's the word, I fixed it and it was exactly what i thought it was. There was a wire that came loose on the ignition switch. Tapped it a couple of time's on the lower stearing colum and it turned on. Bless God, well hopefully this will help someone else out. Oh and it also turned the HUD display withthe MPG,oil lifes, fuel consumption ect ect on cause that shut off aswell.

    I got you taman86, I'll try to grab some pics tomorrow. Just to let u know what I did is I grabbed a starter from auto zone cut off the ignition switch part that I needed and I spliced the wires together. Then I returned the old one after I taped it together lol.
    I'll make sure to point out the wires that got loose.
