Hello all,
When last I left you with this problem, my stereo was cutting out whenever I
turned on or off my auxiliary fan. So taking everyone's advice I moved them
to entirely separate wiring circuits. The problem remained! Here's what I
ended up finding out. I had wanted both of these circuits to be active only
when the ignition was on. I had a nice 12+ volts flowing from the battery to
the coil, but on the switched side of things I am only getting about 8.5
volts coming back out of the coil. When the fan fires up this drops even
lower. Hence the stereo was rather intermittent to say the least. I've moved
the two circuits onto "always hot" connections for the time being and
everything works fine again. It looks like it's time for a new coil. It is a
Lucas Sports Coil only about 18 months old with not a lot of miles under its
belt. Who would've thought something from such a reputable supplier could go
bad so shortly!
Thanks for all your advice,
Dave Moag
