I have a 1997 Camaro SS. The other day when I went to go start my car it wouldn't start at all. The battery was fully charged tho, but my security light on my dash wouldn't go off. Once it did, it started right up. Also another problem that started last night, my head lights will shut off then go right back on while driving. The air bag and battery lights come on and go off as well when the problem with the lights happens. Any advice in this matter would be very helpful, thanks!

 

You may have an intermittentshort circuit in the lights circuits. The headlights are protected by circuit breakers instead of fuses. This is a safety item to give you some lights (off & on) instead of going completely dark and staying there. Not being there I can only guess, but it would appears that when the short takes place it overloads the electrical system, and brings down the battery voltage causing the warning lights to go on. Or you may have a battery that has bad connections or just plain going bad.

 

Thanks alot. Come to find out that the connections on my battery were so loose that it wasn't even funny. And I just put in a battery 3 months ago and tightened them myself. But thanks
