This sounds like one of a few known problems that I have written about
here and on the Syncro list over the years. It is simple to solve if you
will just follow a few steps. First, open the vertical black box on the
firewall, driver's side. The one with all the wiring in it, not the
relay box near the coil. There is a threaded post in there, with red
wires to it. It MUST have +12 volts to it at ALL times. Does it?
