one day they are working, next day they don`t!!

Anyone help with some basic diagnosis?

and try wobbling the turn signal stalk, that is, if your lights are still on original US style wiring, as the brake lights pass through that switch

Agreed with those replys. Check the switch over the pedal is OK first and then investigate the turn signal switch in the column. They are very cheap nasty things in mopars.

ok, a closer investigation revealed brake lights, interior dome light, hazards and trunk light all off at the same time. A quick look at no.3 bay fuse seemed to reveal an intact fuse. Took it out and the contacts were dirty/corroded. Replace with new fuse and all is OK again

It`s just typical something like this would happen when I needed to be road ready as I`d arranged to get the new exhaust fitted today

Nevermind it`s booked in again for Thursday

sorry Trev, just picked this up.

I`ve now got the exhaust fitted. Used AAS (Advance Automotive Systems) just along the road from your works, at Bells Close Ind Est. They did a damn fine job in shiny stainless both pipes from manifold to muffler. I supplied the mufflers (Flowmaster Delta flow40`s) and they fitted it all together. I kept the over axle pipes as they were OK in aluminised for now. I got some nice shiny tailpipes as well.

They do stuff for street and race cars and will even make custom fabricated headers in stainless. I think their pricing is reasonable for the work they do. Nice guys - he`s even got a TransAm in the shop which they are fitting a full cage tube chassis for circuit racing!!

I had a look at this exhaust today and if these guys can do a 3" system I will be along there like a shot when the time comes.
