94 Saturn SL
Problem is chronic. I try to start the engine, and get no sound whatsoever. What happens is as follows: the interior and exterior lights and electronics all work without ignition. They turn off as soon as I press the brake pedal (removing fuse to brake lights fixed the problem), and they turn off when I turn the key to crank the engine. The dome light dims significantly when I the key is turned to 'run', and nothing changes on app.
Oh, removing the brake light fuse did not stop the lights from going out when cranking.
This has happened in the past, usually when I leave the car parked for a while. Sometimes I would come out and have the same symptoms, so i'd hit the battery and wiring around a little and the problem would (eventually) be "fixed". This time, this solution isn't working, and regardless, it would be nice to have a reliably-running car.
