[s-cars] Blown ECU 15A Fuse

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

Paulie,

Unfortunately wifey is back to driving the U-Boat, although not as bad as the last time---she only got dripped on from the Sunroof, no tidal waves gushing from the rear console vents this time, so I guess all the drains south of the belt line are clear.  Hear that Woop  Woop Woop it's the claxon warning all comers that our U-Boat / S8 is set to dive.

Damn Hans and Frans.

Fortunately it still has copious amounts of torque to help me forget that little dribble here and there, ahhh the torque.
