funny light business, problem found

[Eric Henning]

Thanks all who responded to my post on the "Christmas
tree taillights".

I checked the grounds, added grounds, grounded the
grounds, ran aground, ate at Ground Round, grounded my
kids, ground my teeth, then got frank j. bauer advice
on checking the bundle at the left trunk hinge.  Found
all the wires there frayed barely hanging on.  I then
started pulling off the cloth tape covering the bundle
to the left tail-light.  Found that the entire bundle
from the left hinge to the left tailight was one big
melted single conductor.

So here's my guess - Gorund at point 11 (ground lug
near left taillight was bad.  Caused extra current
draw because of the additinal lights being lit up
(Christmas trees).  PPO kept putting in higher fuses
until 3 Mile Island meltdown.  

Clipped out the bad section, put a patch in and all is
fine again.
