Re: Lighting probs - '96 Signature

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Maybe you have a bad Light Control Module (LCM) it is located under the dash towards the center, or you could have an alternator diode leaking to ground, "Towncar" pointed me to this since I was having lighting problems.

Towncar:
Battery drain is common in this car when Alternator diodes leak to ground. Sometimes this condition also causes speedometer wander at idle, and definitely causes all sorts of electronic gremlins.
You should have it tested at an auto shop, I read somewhere that you could also use a voltmeter between the battery terminals and check for any AC voltage with the engine running, this should be an indicator of a leaking diode.

Best regards,

Oscar
