morning all and happy new year. this is absurd!? i got up to go to work this morning (first day back after a 3 week vacation) and i crank the 84vanGL... no head lamps and no front heater blower or windshield wipers! same thing as last time... i just put that ignition switch in less than 2 months ago!! WTF? UGH! ...any ideas as to why it might be doing this? something bigger than the ignition switch? i have yet to look at the situation... its still dark out... and i don't feel like fiddleing with it at this hour. i know the connections are good.. the high beams come on when i pull the high beams switch... so does the blower and windshield wipers... haha (all at the same time i pull the high beam lever) they just will not stay on... i have to hold the lever.. anyway ... it happened EXACTLY the same way it did last time... one head lamp went out i drove with one lamp (actually i used the high beams because both worked) for a week or two and then the switch went...this time i just spent 20 bucks on brand new head lamps....(a day before i changed the ignition switch...) the same head lamp went out a week ago... now the ignition switch... both are BRAND NEW! if this was like a 2 second job and the part only cost 50 cents i wouldn't be so hashed... but it takes at least 30 min and the part is about 30 bucks(if i dont want to wait for it) PLUS the new head lamp. if any one has any ideas let me know ... i cant keep doing this every time i jump in my van. :( thanks in advance. cheers Chad~ 84gl
