I just picked up a 92 laser with 98k miles on it. It hasn't been driven often in the past year but the previous owner just did a bunch of maintenance and it runs and drives good. This is my 5 or 6 1g so I'm not new to them at all.
When I drove it home I noticed the wipers didn't work on intermediate but would work on low and high but would stop in the middle of the windshield if I turned them off mid wipe. The cruise control would turn on and set but turn itself off after 5-10 seconds. None of the front speakers work, only the rear, I put a new cd player in thinking the old one we the problem but that didn't change anything.
Fast forward about 2 weeks go by with no issues, I get home and shut the car off. About a minute later I go to move it and it clicks like a dead battery or starter. I check the wires and battery and try again. Click and then nothing. All power is gone, no floor lights, no seatbelts, nothing. I have checked all the fuses, relays and swapped mpi relays. I checked the terminals and grounds on the battery and intake manifold, nothing wrong there. I'm not sure where to go from here other then to tear the dash out and check all the wires. Electrical stuff is not my strong suit but I can read wiring diagrams and understand the basics.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sort of at a loss seeing as I have no power at all to the chassis but the battery is fully charged. Any help would be great, thanks!
