So I killed my bronco tonight....took it for about a 5 mile drive and noticed my fuel guage and alt gauges weren’t working. My dad and I decided to head back and fuel up just in case it was reading right. Anyways, while I was sitting in the driveway it was starting to get dark so I decided to turn my lights on. I hit the switch and noticed they were flickering like a fluorescent light when the ballast goes. My interior lights were ok like my shift indicator lights so I turned them off. I then decided to see if my cigar lighter still worked and when I pushed it in my heater fan slowed, and my engine died. I quickly pulled the lighter back out and tried to restart my truck...nothing. My radio still works, the cigar lighter believe it or not still works, Heater fan switch still works. When I go to turn the ignition the speaker makes a buzzing noise and that’s it. I checked all my fuses and they are all good. I’m thinking that my ignition switch and light switch got shorted out or corroded on the way back from super Cel. My soft top didn’t do the greatest job of keeping the water out like I hoped. My cigar lighter is powered by the accessory power wire and not the constant power wire. I used my constant power wire labeled cigar to run my radio because it needs constant power. I wanted my cigar lighter to only work when the key is on. Anyways, your thoughts are welcome, I’m guessing bad Chinese switches....
