<< I seem to have woken the great god of wierd electrical gremlins today.
This morning on the way to work, the ignition light came on. I had a look
around everything was plugged in and working, so I thought i woulde wait
until I got home. half way home, the light goes out. Hmmm must have been
a dud earth and its shaken itself to a new earth. I get home turn off the
ignition, and the light comes back on and stays on until I turn on the
ignition and it then goes out ???? I have disconected the battery overnite,
but does anyone have a theory on what is going on here. >>
Neil,
I had exactly this thing happen to me last fall. In the end, it turned out
that one of the ignition switch leads had become un-attached. I had to do
one of my least-favorite MG jobs--grubbing around under the dash--to sort it
out. That looseness happened because I installed a new (old) tach.
Keep the battery disconnected until you solve it or it will be drained, for
certain.
Good luck,
