Re: Electrical Glitch, is this bad??? (quite long)

Jan,

I had a similar type problem with the alarm going off randomly like 
that or the whole car just shutting down completely either while 
parked or in the middle of driving. Then working just fine at other 
points. My mechanic traced it to a VERY loose battery connection 
behind the panel directly below the rear window. You have to remove 
that carpeted piece to check it. He said it was very loose. It's on 
the passenger side and is the connection that goes thru the firewall 
into the electrical box on the passenger side of the engine 
compartment. Tightening that up fixed all my electrical problems. I 
just wish I had found it myself because it cost a bundle to have my 
mechanic find just a loose connection and tighten it up. I now have 
learned from some PNDC club members that this is a common loose 
connection on DeLoreans.
