Chasing a steering column spark... 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Russ on  Wed Mar 12 05:02 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Here are the clues:

1. Driving down the road, the stock Volvo anti-theft alarm sounds. Car continues to run.
2. Honk the horn. It doesn't honk. The car dies. Dead as a doornail. The whole dash dies. Restarts without a problem.
3. Turn right, the whole dash dies. Dead as a doornail. Restarts without a problem.
4. Sometimes it starts and the dash doesn't come alive at all. Drives fine, dash doesn't work for a mile or two then springs to life.

I'm asking in advance because I suspect I'll be working around the airbag. I'd like feedback before I break my neck with deploying airbag.

Thanks, in advance!

Russ
