The Qlist is psychically powered! I was _just_ about to post a question
about the purpose of a 10 amp fuse in a red wire/holder mounted on the
backside of the battery clamp, under the rear seat. You say it's for power
to the "antenna and rear crossover". You're referring to a power antenna,
which my '91 200q does not have. What's the "crossover" (sounds radio
speaker-related)? I guess I've learned to be unsurprised that a fuse would
be there although it may serve no purpose. But does it?
