If you use turn signals car will shut down. Gauges go crazy all lights come on. Started with seat belt light and ABS light coming on first time - - about a mile later while in a parking lot and stopped tried again and engine shuts off !!!!!! finally got car to start after playing around with signals and 4 way flasher and drove home ok but did not use turn signals. When in drive tried signals and again car shuts off. This is my wife's car 97 Regal turned 30,000 miles on the way home.
