Odd Electrical Problem?[700/90] posted by Bob D. on

Two months ago, my wife and I purchsed a '90 745T with which we are very pleased. My wife ran some errands today in the car. After stopping at Dairy Queen with our two year old, the ABS light came on, the blinkers did not work, along with the power windows. She managed to get home and call me at work. My first reaction was, of course, a fuse. But when I got home and started up the car, everything was fine, along with the fuses. Any ideas on a solution to my quandry?
Thanks for your help.

The elctrical switch behind ignition lock is almost certainly the culprit. You can test for this by starting car and then turn key a few degrees either way and see if you can't duplicate what your wife observed. The switch has the spring in it that returns the key to run position after you go to the starter position and it can weaken or wear. The switch is easy to change and is readily available through a good parts supplier.
