got 2 electrical problems an xf and an xg

[thunderbolt 150]

no point making 2 threads

first the XG it has no spark something to do with moisture because it only happens in damp cool whether

I would probably find the problem easy if the manifold wasn't so awful so any help would be good.

 

The XF has parasitic drain that makes the hand brake light glow dimly when engine is off what should i check

 

thanx

found the problem on the XF

Do you mean spark or park? If spark you ignition module or cap and motor might be dodgy, pull the cap and rotor ( pain in the ass on a xg) and try to wipe it out and spray some crc ot wd40 in there to try and drive the moisture out

looks like my finger missed the s key

yep i meant spark i tyred the wd40 and found the trigger wheel had a bit of surface rust on it

do XGs have TFI similar to the XF EFI

Yep, same TFI too.

Sounds like a bad earth problem in the xf.

its my thermo fan over ride switch is some how doing something (if i turn it on with the engine off the battery don't drain)

Strange

coil 1st there a shit of a thing ,leave the tfi until you test replace the coil

if i disconnect the battery and connect it again it starts (but one of the times i done that i gave it a squirt of ether in the intake )
