Good Morning,
My daughter was visiting us here in Southern California. On her way back to her home in the bay area her car completely died near Oakland.
She said it was running fine , and just quit- like she had turned it off. The engine quit, the radio shut off , there were no dash warning lights, and the gauges were at their low point- just like the car had been shut off.
She coasted off the freeway and called me, she described what had happened, and that nothing happened but a tiny click when she tried to restart the car. She also said the SRS light was the only one illuminated on the cluster.
She called AAA, and after 90 minutes they came, turned the key and the car started! Not wanting to drive across the Richmond bridge with an unknown problem she had it towed to her home in San Rafael.
I am driving up with a new ignition switch, I'll install that along with checking grounds, fuses and connections.
Any suggestions as to what else may be causing the problem?
The car is a 1991 240 with 180,000 miles and is her daily driver and pride and joy.

Thanks,

Dan
