I did a search prior to posting but did not find the answer. Ok, yesterday I pulled the Viper out and started her up and let it idle. I am checking to see when my fans come on etc, etc. I have not had a cooling issue per se but it does seem to run hot. Car heated up, fan came on, cooled back down. I let it cycle through this a couple of times and everything seemed fine. It was getting towards dusk so I now want to take it out for a little run around the neighborhood to again let it cycle through heating up and cooling down per se. I turn on the headlights before I back out of the driveway, no problem, I turn on my fog lights, I got out to check they are both working, no problem. I get back in the car and bam, headlights and fog lights go out, the blinker indicators go solid green and the highbeam indicator stays on as well. Car is still running mind you. I turn the headlights on and off to no effect. Blinkers do not work either. Not knowing what is going on I decide to just drive around the little cirle I live on to see what happens. Car starts heating up past where I have seen it before, past the last tick before 250. I try turning the car off and restarting. Car will not restart. Nothing happens; does not even turn over. I play with the light switch, turn signals, etc, etc, nothing. Mind you I am about 10 houses down from my house so I am thinking I will have to push it home. So I get out and my side drive marker lights are still on. The headlights are in the off position. The bright lights indicator is still lit as are the blinkers. I click the highbeams again and all lights go out. I jump in the car and it starts right up but the lights are all back on again. As I sit there I notice the car is still hot and the fan is not coming on. So I limp home quickly and park it. The electrical system, other than starting the car, does not seem to be working per se. The gauges still backlight but my fan is definitely not coming on to cool the car. I am thinking fuse or fuses as is logical but has anybody else ran into a similar issue or issues? Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get all the details out there for the most accurate diagnosis possible. 1996, RT-10, 56,000miles, all stock save for JVC headunit and speakers.
