Ring Any Bells?

[Charles G. Alday]

Thanks Peter, et al.

An intermittent Hall sender makes sense.  Is that a symptom of a bigger
problem?  What blew the fuse and did that take out the Hall sender in the
process?   I have not been able to find a short and since the fuse hasn't
blown since, that may be intermittent too.  What would blow a fuse on that
circuit?  I just want to make sure I'm not missing something that will fry a
new Hall sender and worse, the ECU.

Sometimes I think the "beast" needs an exorcist, not a mechanic.

Thanks everyone.
