You shouldn't need to go pulling fuses! Sounds like you may have a battery that is on the outs or maybe something with poor connection? Ron85 05-15-2007, 08:34 AM I would do a load test on the batter first. If the battery tests OK then I would proceed as follows. With your volt meter connected, pull one fuse at a time and replace it in the same holder. The meter will react when you hit the circuit that is giving you the trouble. Could be a bad ground as well. I had a similar problem with my 85. Turned out to be a bad module on an after market alarm system. Good luck!
