Jon. Welcome to the list. It's always nice to see more 90's owners joining up. As owners of the most recent generation of Chrysler Corporation's finest automotive efforts, we suffer from a distinct disadvantage as compared to the owners of the more seasoned Imperials. That disadvantage is that we have far shorter history in troubleshooting and comparing notes about the service history of our cars. I hope that you will be one more contributor to the knowledge base on these awesome little cars. Posting a help request, as you've done, is an important component to adding to that knowledge base. We will do our best to offer to you whatever assistance we can to solve your issues. Having said that, I'll try to add my 2 cents (CDN) to the discussion. (about 1.6 cents US) I am rapidly learning about the electrical system on my 1990 Imperial. I am learning some of the strengths as well as the weaknesses. I would suggest you check a few certain systems. If you don't have a test light, go out and buy a GOOD ONE. Go ahead and check the following... 1. Test or have someone test the battery and charging system. These cars are computer controlled and a computer running on a poor power source is nothing to be relied upon. 2. Check ALL the fuses with your test light and/or a continuity tester. This includes those under the hood near the brake master cylinder. Those can be tricky. I once went through a huge effort and some expense to fix a problem that was caused simply by a blown fuse in that fuse block. The fuse LOOKED perfectly fine but was blown in such a way that I couldn't easily see the problem. 3. Check the relays in the relay block under the hood near the brake master cylinder. They should be colour coded and can be swapped around with similar relays to test. Also check the relays in the relay block located above the glove compartment. You may have to remove the glove box door to access these. 4. Check all connections to the ignition switch and turn signal switch located in the steering column. The tilt action of the column often causes these connections to come loose. These switches are easily replaced if need be. They are not terribly expensive either. Check these out and report back your findings and we'll continue from there. Fixing electrical problems is like eating an Elephant. You do it one bite at a time.
