I have a 1990 Mustang GT and I recently took it in to have the heater
core replaced (worst labor rip off ever, 9 hours) and when I got my car
back, all of a sudden the turn signals and the fan/air conditioning has
stopped working. At first I though, oh they just blew a fuse and
iddn't replace it so I got out my fuse kit and after checking ALL the
fuses, nothing has helped. I am at a loss here and I hate to take it
back to the shop because I know they will just tell me that it was
nothing that they did and then try to charge me an arm and a leg to
find out what it is. If anybody has ANY idea what could be causing
this it would be much appreciated, it worked just fine before. Thanks.

AN ANSWER!!!!

I had a exactly the same thing happen on my '90 LX 5.0. It turned out to be
an electrial problem that mysterically occured when the car was setting
while I was out of town. Turned out to be an electrical switch,
specifically an ignition switch. I'm not going to jinx myself about how it
works now.

Hope this helps.

There was a problem like this in the Auto Repair column of the local paper.
In this case, Ford car, tranny would not shift correctly when lights were
on!!!

Bad connection at rear tail light was fix!!

Was feeding back to electronic tranny control module causing grief.

Go figure....

Did you pay for the ign switch repair? There was a Ford Recall on
those ign switches and Ford replaced them for free.

Yes I did. I didn't even think about a recall. I guess in theory I might
be able to get them to reimburse me.
