    Hello everyone,

    I'm just wondering if all Mavericks have lights under the hood, in the trunk, glove box and ashtray? I just went and bought all new bulbs but I don't seem to see one in either of these places. Another thing I've noticed is that my Fasten Belts light is on all the time. Anyone know what could cause this? I've also noticed that my Signal lights don't work while my headlights are on. When the light switch is all the way in, the signal light will blink normally. When the dash lights are on, the blinking is cut in half, but when the headlights come on, they blink very slowly and then stop altogether. Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    Matthew

    For the signals check you have a good ground at the lamps and from the battery to the body. You may also want to check the charging system voltage.

    I've checked the voltage while the car was running, it bounces between 12 and 13. I think it's bouncing because of a non-steady idle. What do you think?
