When the weather gets better, go out and check the main power fuses in the maxifuse... I have seen a few H bodies that killed 2 of the Blue ones( forget the amperage ) and left the car powerless...

the car has power (door locks, RKE ete)

but why are the interior light freaking out

banned3800 01-18-2007 03:10 PM

I would say bad RKE or possible bad lighting relay.. You have the 93 service mnaual right.. Check the wiring for the Interior lights...

The RKE part of the module gets its power from the white connector( same connector used for the Illumination and Retained acessory ) If you unplug that you will have nothing..

I am wondering if its a bad relay or the module

update...

today, car has NO power....jump the car and let it run to charger the battery for 10 min....shut the car off, and walk away....go out to car again in 5 min, and only 9.9 volts

go to wally get a replacement battery....this is my 7 th one....

install in car...all issues gone

Holy Moley! :shock: What's killing those batteries? Low voltage conditions can cause things to act flukey.
