hello guys and gals.
I am having a weird issue where my headlights seem to have some how
got linked to my ignition.
the other night i went to drive the van and when i turned on the
headlights my cluster acted up..

so I have been trying to deduce the problem. the only change i had mad
to the wiring was to remove the stereo and replace it ( done this at
least 80 times since i was 13 )

while looking into this i removed the stereo and unhooked all the
wiring ( just to make sure it wasn't the problem)

here are the symptoms: when the van is running and you turn the
headlight on the rpms drop and the lights on the cluster flash like
you just turned the key on again.

intermittently , with the key out of the ignition if you turn the
headlight switch on the cluster and fuel pump start ( like you just
turned the key on )

i took the fuse panel down and and looked at it, decided to swap out
the relay marked 24 . since i did this it seemed to correct the
symptom when the key is out of the ignition.

thanks
J
