The battery is not that old and is supposedly appropriate for the car. If I don't actually drive the car every7-10 days I have to jump the battery. Idling only doesn't seem to sufficient. I think I heard somewhere that high rpms are needed because of the generator setup. Car starts fine after the initial jump-start as long as I don't go too long between starts. No problem ...

The other day on the way home from work my directionals quit working. Everything seemed to be working mechanically in the column so I figured it had to be electrical. I remove the switch from the steering column and it slides back and forth fairly easily. Ok, must be a contact problem so I decide to pull the switch apart (Bingo, there's the mistake).

It says to hook the red wire from the box up to the ignition wire. According to the manual the ignition 1 wire is pruple and ignition 2 is black. The black one does not get power when I turn on the key. The pruple one does. So I hooked the red wire up to the purple wire but i am still not getting power at the coil. I was told I should hook the black one and the pruple one together. I don't see how that will help though since I have no power at the black wire. My ...
