[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 797425, member: 52972"] First thinkgs first, and the most obvious is to check the battery. Makes no difference if it's new or old, they all dies sooner or later. If you have good battery voltage, then you could have a bad multiswitch connector in the steering column that routes you lights, turn signals ignition, etc and most everything throught that connector. I you don't have much slack in the cable and you move the column tilt, it can pull the connector apart. The fact that th lights go out when you try to start it sounds more like a battery problem...It could even be corrosion or bad cables. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
