Much appreciated OldSchool. I think that I will cut and past it for future reference.

I wanted to read the link again and it's broken. I can't get to any articles on http://www.lscclub.org/tech

'88 No No, but my father in law says he did which is why I have a seperate key for the door and the ignition.

Forgot to mention that I did replace the voltage regulator and bought an alternator. The shop that I took it to load tested the alternator and said it was ok, so I told them to put in the voltage regulator anyway.

I think that Chuck Norris had a blower with an on/off switch in a movie from long ago. I think that it was on a Blazer or a Rangler and he used it to escape being burried underground in his truck;) It could happen:rolleyes:

Just an update- After the shop disabled the alarm and replaced the headlight switch, I had far fewer electrical issues. I still had a lack of performance and some DTE errors which became mute after a friend borrowed the car for a football game and the next time I tried to drive it, I couldn't...

Thanks Awesund, the variable load flasher that I mentioned does click. They even made another one that stated "loud" on the label, but I went for the original which is plenty loud for me.

As I mentioned Black87, my flasher was going anyway so, maybe if I replaced it with the exact part it would have worked anyway. Mine is an 88, who knows if there was any change from the 87 in this area. All I can say is that it's working now, and I don't want to throw 7 more bucks on the...

My LEDs didn't have complete info on the package, so I looked around on the other LED packages. My '88 apparently had a type 552 2-prong flasher. You want to replace it with a "variable load" 552 replacement. The one that I purchased is a Tridon Stant model EL12 12 Volt 2 terminal. I will try...

Thanks Gents, I didn't want to return them. So, I guess I will pick up the LED flasher and put some electrical tape over the rear lamp out indicator and I should be all set. This flasher will still work if my front indicator lights are standard and just the rear stop/signal lamps are LED? Or...

Did you have to make any mods? I bought these yesterday and installed them with the hazards blinking to make sure they were working. After putting all 4 of them in and getting back in the car, I had a rear tail light out warning indicator. Now when I put on the left or right turn signal, the...

They Look awesome DevilDog!

NOW we might be getting somewhere. As I mentioned this pretty much started happening after my father-in-law swapped out the tranny- sounds like he was working near that rear ground and might have damaged it somehow. In addition, I noticed that the battery retaining plate is missing so the...

Thanks OldSchool, I did do research and read about the ignition switch and regulator/alternator combo. Someone also mentioned the solid state switch next to the ignition switch- might as well change that while I'm at it. The alarm was a factory install, don't know how old the battery is- better...

Forgot to mention, the ignition key was very warm to touch on several occasions after turning the car off.

I'm having a few electric issues that I hope someone helps me with. I'm gonna list everything that is going on because I'm looking for a common link of some sort. Always had the alarm go off when the car got wet, so I disconnected the speaker so I could sleep at night-nothing major yet Had...

Right now regular is $2.26 near me, which is all I need anyway.

Manual You guys can answer your own questions by reading the owners manual. The engineers would have put in there the required octane for your car. I, personally have a 1988 Mark and run 87 with no problems.

Nice info, you still have that one? Nice interior! Gonna take a little work to get mine there.

Thanks again OldSchool. FYI it's an 88 LSC.
