Not to totally amaze you, but section 87 is in the Mechanical book...

Your #6 relay from under the hood (low speed relay). Use a pair of

Thats VERY interesting. Try pulling the low speed relay, dress the contacts.
Then puul the after run relay (brown one, next to yer noisy one under the
dash). Using small tweaker type screwdrivers to spread the seating, pop is
apart, look at it, say wow, then look for bad solder joints. DON'T move
things around on the board. Slap it back together and reinsert it. Then
throw 50.00 into the air and cross your fingers three times. If that doesn't
work, call Linda...

Spent most of the day putting in a plexiglass backboard for Supershots.
Twisted my ankle, pinched one finger, scratched my arm, cut my thumb, and my
back hurts from contorting my way into the back of the durned thing three
times. Came home, bought Key Lime pie and celebrated 9 years of sobriety...
