[ST] 2002 Sprints;Yikes!

[Robert Smith <robert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't fool me, Matt. You were visiting a parallel universe where Hinckley, 
Leicestershire had been replaced by an alien city called Hinkley.

Patti,

The chances of such a fault occurring spontaneously and NOT having been 
caused by all the wire-pulling and re & re involved in a service would be 
astronomical. It's 99.99% certain someone has pulled a connector or not 
reconnected something properly. Were the lights working through all this? 
Idiot lights? Turn signals?

Example: my dealer routed a spark plug lead badly after a service. First 
time I turned right, the plug cap pulled off and I went on to two cylinders.

 From your description of the symptoms, I would go first to the battery 
terminals. After all, these should have been disconnected during the 
service and may not have reconnected properly. The symptoms are definitely 
indicative of a bad electrical power connection or a bad ground somewhere, 
and as so many systems are affected it has to be close to the battery. Lean 
on the dealer

Hope this helps,
