Yes sometimes and sometimes it works fine.. When I do get that clicking it does sound like a short, with relays clicking..

Got to be a short.
But where is it?

NO POWER TO ANYTHING....NOT EVEN THE CLOCK


I remember one time my Rover left me at the 7-11. It was 7 (F) degrees outside that day. It would not start. I thought the switch that checks for park/nuetral had failed. But that was not it. I took the column apart and eventually took the ignition switch apart. I could get the Rover started by hot wiring it but still no key. When I reassembled it, it started working again.

Now was it temperature related or some other freak problem. I still don't know. But now I leave a space heater in it all night so the interior is nice and toasty in the morning. AND it has never done it again since.

I wonder if there is a fusable link failing or a fuse blowing maybe?
i GUESS ILL GO BACK AND TEAR THE REST OF THE COLUMN DOWN TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN THERE THAT IS CAUSING THE FAULT.
