Re: quick help? something broke. more info

There is no signal to the Alt (or the oXS timer, same circuit.) Bentley
pojnts the finger at either 1. connections on the back of fuse box (A1,
D2?) (or, I hope not, inside the fuse box) or 2. the oil pressure light
control unit - which I guess is behind the inst cluster - anyone know
what this looks like, where it is exactly, or anything?

btw, the LRR is nowhere near this circuit, but the juice for it
apparently emanates from the oil pressure warning light control unit!  

thanks for your ongoing help - I'll go mess some more things up then
check my mail again.
