Electrical Issue: lights are flashing and the horn is flashing with the key out of the ignition 850 1996

Jwalker,

Thank you for your reply. My 1996 850 does have a key fob, but my daughter is only using a regular key to start and turn off the car. The key fob that came with the car is designed only to open and close the doors.

I do keep an eye on the battery cables. Every so often I clean them with water and baking soda, air dry them with an air hose, and then cover them with white grease to prevent corrosion from forming. Typically this regimen seems to work. I will advise my daughter to check the terminals. Fortunately she was able to drive it to a local garage that has a very good reputation. When I learn of the diagnosis, I will post it.

Hugh
