I hope you guys can help me here. I have a nice '84 that's bone stock with 56k orig. miles. The only thing I've ever had go wrong with it is the 4+3 which I had rebuilt at about 40k miles. It had been a daily driver and reliable until recently. First, the radio fuse kept blowing every time the driver's door was shut. Finally, I learned to live without the radio. Then, the overdrive kept dropping out of OD. I thought it was the switch because I could switch it back on and off several times and it would be ok for awhile. Now it is always off. I even learned to live with that. The car sat for several weeks without being driven and I was happy she started right up. I drove it for about 5 minutes and parked it to go to the store. When I came out I turned the key and ....nothing! I thought maybe the battery had suddnely died or the cables were bad. I wiggled the cables and I got a click at the starter but that was it. I push started it and got it home. Now, when I try to start it the digital dash is dark, I hear a faint click which sounds like it is in the dash behind the radio. But no start. I've tried this many times. On one occasion it started like nothing was wrong. I've tried jumping it, putting a large battery charger on it and still nothing. When I turn on the key sometimes the dash has crazy images all over it for a second. Also, the check engine light is on. Help!!!!!
