Ditto, and with the summer weather the radiator fan is working harder.  If
yours is not fused (and I am talking directly to my '86 through '88 5K
non-fused brethren), fuse it now or ask anybody who's fried a harness how
much it is to repair.

Both mine went the cheapo route with a 70amp off the negative side of the
fan motor, $2.39 at Pep Boys.  That gives a bit of peace of mind till I can
do it properly via the instructions on Scott Mockry's page...
