My trusty old '95 850T has just developed an electrical fault which, I'm
afraid, will probably turn out to be expensive to diagnose and fix.
When I turn on the headlights, the instrument panel lights up for about
one second then goes dark. If I turn the lights off and back on again,
the panel doesn't light up at all. However, if I switch the engine off
and re-start, and then turn the lights on, I will usually (but not
always) get the one-second treatment.
Any insights -- or even hunches? I'm not very electrical. Could this be a failing capacitator or something? Any notorious examples of this sort of thing in the lore?
Grateful for any comments or suggestions.
TIA
cheers,
Henry
