ok Greg
I will try and check them when I get it out of the shop.
I really don't know enough to deal with a wiring diagram.

do you know if this car has a security system?
most security lights I have seen have to do with a security
system.
just don't want that sucker to shut down on me one day at an
inappropriate time...

thanks

Yes it has a security system. Usually it takes turning the key in the
drivers side lock to disengage it. And it can leave you stranded if you
don't watch out. I had an 84 before my 93.

i do not think that it has a full vats system, (does the ignition key
have a resistor pellet in it?) but it does have a factory installed
anti theft systems. i printed up the first page of the wiring diagram
for it and it does have a starter interlock and what they are calling
a theft deterrent module. check the fuse for this.
if it is not a vats and you system is getting power and ground your
problem is PROBABLY is the module if all of the switches are in
working order. it looks like it also goes to the clutch switch also.
let me know if you need more info. Greg

Thanks for the info Charlie.
Could you please tell me what I need NOT do?
So I may guard against getting stranded.
What do I need to do if it happens?
Will the key in the door deactivate the system that has just
stranded me?
Sorry, for so many questions but I really need to know.
I have no manual explain this.

Thanks

No vatts in early c-4's.
It probably has a factory installed anti theft system.
This happened when I first got the car. Had to have it towed
to the shop because all I knew was that it wouldn't start. I
tried the key in the door but still nothing.
My mechanis did something?
I think he mentioned something about a "starter interlock"
I don't believe he replaced anything.
The car starts fine now but that "security light" stays on.
Wouldn't think that the module is not bad because it works
fine now except for that darn light :-)
I --- don't --- know :-)
I will take your advice and check the fuse and the switches.

I got stranded once, it took me taking the cable off the battery and then
re-installing them to reset it. My problem ended up being the key itself.

ok, thanks
that answers my question.

Was that on an 84?
The key and the key ignition is nothing special.
How would that make a difference?
