Well, got the supercharger belt back on today, least she's fast again. Damn car felt slower than my 93 XJ6 without that belt!
However, wipers were acting up big time today. Know how when you "pull" back on the wiper stick the wiper should only swing one time? Well it did it 5-10 times then stopped randomly wherever it chose on the windshield...Did this over and over again each time I pulled back on it. Up and down of stick still is normal low and high speeds but it wont turn off after you put stick down to "off" position. Actually pulled the car over, turned it off, and the wiper continued to swing until it stopped in another random spot...thoughts?? Messed up relay or what?
Also, fog lights. They work fine. However, drive the car for any length of time or sometimes just starting it up for the first time they will either shut off themselves (front & rear fogs, and parking lights and taillights) all just quit after driving for a while. Has happened on numerous occassions. Indicator lights go out under the two fog lights switches and I then dont have parking or taillights any longer. Or sometimes just rear fogs will work. Either way when it does happen at night my only source of light is headlights and rear fogs. If rear fogs arent working then I have nothing in back at all. Starting to annoy me beyond no end. Fuses are fine. Nothing seems loose. Thoughts?

well, first off, the wiper thing I'm almost certain is your wiper relay, front engine bay, right side if I remember correctly. The lighting issue is probably also a relay issue. relays just looove to get cold breaks in them or just act ridiculous for no apparent reason. I would suspect the lighting control relay or some other such related circuit with a relay in it.
