sc's acting up, electrical issue?
 
Hello, so far I haven't found what my problem is. Maybe this belongs in the maintence section?

Once in a while, like when its hot outside, the passenger door doesn't lock when you lock the car with the keys or manually from the drivers side, not too much of a problem...

Now, I've noticed, like maybe once a month or so, maybe twice or so. The car's head lights dim when breaking or signaling... sometimes the radio will go out for a bit when signling. This isn't every day or every time I start the car. Just once in a while very sporadically. I checked the battery and its' fine. Could the wireing need replacing or something? Any ideas? Thanks

It's a 93 sc300 with 120k miles.

Usually when electrical systems suffer from braking, it is the cause of a bad grounding somewhere.

What's up stranger??? Where've you been? Playing with chickens probably :p

I had this same issue and I bought a new battery and had all my grounds checked and tightened and this solved the problem. Do a search for "ghosts" or "electrical ghosts" and read what I was talking about :thumbup:

Fix it before it gets worse. You can get a good inexpensive battery from Walmart if you need to.

Thanks, I'll go check the grounding on the car.

To what I've been up to. Just alot of school work and just a little bit of the chickens. Today was my last final so life is good... I hope... hehe. :p
