Well I have a feeling that I\'ve got some electrical gremlins I need to sort out with the rabbit. As I\'m firmly planted in the \"modern car\" world, I\'m kinda a noob with this stuff.

Basically, as it stands, when I hook up a jumper battery to the car, (key off) the fuel dizzy buzzes and there\'s some clicking coming from the dash (relays I assume). The interior lights and dash lights flicker along with the buzzing and clicking. When I turn the key on, the dash flickering stops but there\'s still buzzing, and when I turn the key to start, it begins flickering again.

Would anyone with some experience with these old rides want to come over and give me a hand some time? I\'d throw down for pizzas and sodas and stuff..

This reminds me of the pre-treffen cruise fiasco. Call Matt and Kris!

Anyway, wish I could help but I\'m neither an electrical expert or in the state:)

if I were you, I\'d take the dash off, and just check all the grounds.

try replacing the battery or charging it before you start playing with other stuff. Even with jumpers on, it may not turn and you\'ll get all those crazy lights and buzzers. That\'s exactly what happened on my black car just the other day. I had the leads on, it turned but didn\'t start. I gave it a couple second break, tried again and it did the same thing your car is doing. I pulled it out and had a tire shop charge it while they were doing my alignment, put it back in and she fired right up :)
