What do you mean by all lights, all lights as in dash, headlights, parking lights and such... could be a bad light switch, or relay or a burnt wire. I have a 90 Caravan, did basically the same thing, the wiring to it was over heating and it was causing the breaker in the switch to kick off till it cools down then kick back on... I then replaced switch and dimmer switch... still did it, so then I went investigating and found out that it was cause of 1 burnt wire that was good enough to cause contact but it over heated quickly, kicking the lights off, then when it cooled they came back on... It might be something simple or as a burnt wire or the switch itself... checking for a burnt wire is easiler and cheaper then replacing the switch... Hope I helped. Good Luck
Sounds like the ignition has become worn and will not automatically shut the car down. You may want to take the car to an auto mechanic to have them check the ignition cylinder and replace it for you if it bugs you. While sometimes convenient, this could be dangerous.
with a mechanic
half hour if that
Possible a bad computer chip on your car igition key or you may have to get a mechanic to reset the sequrity code for you. Try a different ignition key before you do anything else. The chip is that little black thing that's on the side of your key. I had a mechanic bypass my security in the ignition.
in a 1997 Ford Taurus if you lift hood to disable alarm will the ignition shutdown and lockout automatically?
Take to the Mechanic .... LOL
I am no mechanic but i just had my ignition coils changed on my ford expedition and there are 8 it was expensive to fix .
can't. computer does it automatically.
Set your light switch to "auto" on the dash and your lights will come on automatically with the ignition. Turn your light switch on your dashboard to "auto" or "automatic" and the lights will come on and off with your ignition switch.
No, if it starts on its own without you turning the ignition switch then the ignition switch is defective.
get a mechanic
Yes, My ignition module was bad, I experienced intermittent stalling. My mechanic replaced and it stopped.
