I had this problem on my 95.

Clean the ground that is on the bumper on the passenger side. You may have to jack up the front of the car to get easier access. It took me about 15 minutes to fix.

Download the 94 shop manual from one of the links in the online manuals thread in the DIY section. The electrical section shows the relay and ground location on your car.

It is a metal bracket with plastic connector with a bunch of black wires going to it.

I unbolted the bracket, used a dremel (you can use a file) to clean where the washer touched the bracket.

I cleaned as much rust off of the bolt and washer as I could.

#54 is the what the ground looks like. You can also get a new bolt from the dealership for less than $5.
