    Wacky electrical problem on '93 Caravan

    We suddenly started noticing the following 4 electrical problems on
    our '93 Dodge Grand Caravan

    1. Directionals don't work (but hazards still do!)
    2. Airbag light remains on
    3. Heater fan motor doesn't work
    4. Rear defroster doesn't work

    All other electrical systems and the car itself seem to work fine.

    I asked our mechanic whether this could be a fuse issue and he said no
    since these items are on separate fuses.

    However, I can't believe that all these systems independently started
    to go whacko at the same time.

    Could this be a fuse issue? A grounding issue? Bad power/voltage?

    Any thoughts on where to look and how to troubleshoot?
    Thanks!

    Sounds like your ignition switch is not returning to the "run" position
    after the engine starts. Next time this acts up, try wiggling the lock cyl
    back and forth just a little bit and see if things start working again. You
    are probably going to need to replace the ign lock cylinder assembly to fix
    this.

    we have a '94 grand caravan and when the fuse for the rear wiper/squirter
    pops the airbag light comes on everything else is ok

    That would be a recall on your vehicle "recall 818" have the dealer check it
    out and replace the rear wiper motor, it will cause the fuse to blow and it
    is on the same circuit as the air bag, fuse blows, air bag lite on

    The body controller is not related to these circuits

    blueman and all:

    These circuts _are_ all powered from the same fuse. Look in the black
    power distribution box under the hood, near the battery. You will most
    likely find a blown 40 amp fuse. It will be labled IGN. RUN ONLY or some
    such. If it is not blown, it is corroded. About $2.49 retail. It just
    plugs in.

    By the way... the circuts are all individually fused after this point,
    under the dash. They just also happen to have the IGN RUN fuse as a common
    source.

    Peace, Steve
