Weird electrical problem
When I start up my 89 S2, oftentimes the blower and windshield wipers won't come on until I switch on the headlights. I just need to switch the headlights on and off and then everything works. I figured this had to be a bad ground so I cleaned every ground I could find (the two above the bell housing, one by each headlamp, one on the driver's side front fender and the one in the trunk), but I still have the same problem.
Any thoughts?

There is another ground junction up in the drivers kick iirc, which is ground for the relays and such...

I think that this has more to do with the ignition switch than grounds. I have had this same issue, which comes and goes. Never tried the headlight trick, though.

I know! Why is it that my almost thirty year old electrical system has any problems?
