I just picked up a 92 talon a few weeks ago for my new DD, and these last couple of days it has been testing me.
It blew the main ignition fuse 3 times last week, which I traced back to a shorted fan wire(fan wiring is fubar'd, so it is just hard wired to a switch.) I fixed the wire.
the fuse box right off the battery was also a little melted, so I replaced that with one off of a parts car too.
I went to pull the car out of the shop after fixing those 2 things, none of the accessories would work unless the car was running. the radio would reset every time I shut the car off also. even if the key was in the on position, only the dash lights would come on. nothing else.
I drove it home from work last night, and when I pulled onto my street, the radio started flickering. I pulled in the driveway and turned the car off. remembered about the seat belts, and went to restart the car, and it would only slow crank, like it had a dead battery. I decided to let it sit for a while, but nothing changed. the battery reads 12.1 volts, but only cranks twice, then quits. a few seconds later it will crank twice again, then quit, and so on and so on.
I replaced the ignition switch, but that didn't change anything. I am baffled, and have no idea where to even start.
