1996 Taurus electrical/power steering intermittent issue
The problem was actually best described on another web site, and the suggestion is here as well, does this make sense? Other ideas?
"As soon as I shift gear into reverse, the radio
stops working. Also, sometimes the steering loses power assist (as if the alternator was 'jamming'). I can go reverse no problem however,
engine/transmission seem to work OK. Putting the transmission back to any other gear or park gets steering power assistance back, and the radio starts again. Also, in the dash, the red lamp
'seatbelt' comes on for a few seconds. What the heck is this ?
A: Sounds to me like a loose connection in the ignition switch perhaps. Ed""
