	You do have time to put in a new fuse, even if it "looks" good it
can be
	bad.  I've seen that.


Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! Ned, even though I was sure I had tried a
new fuse, I figured, heck, if Ned is harping on me, I better give it another
shot. I popped in the new one, turned the key on, hit the turn signal
switch, and ... Nothing. Dang-it... this car sucks! Why doesn't this work --
wiggle-wiggle -- wait! Are those my turn signals? I check the wipers...YES!
I start the car and let it warm up... The fan starts. Shut  it down.... the
after run fan works. Hooray! God, I love this car!

So, the question is, will some simple contact cleaner fix up my fuse
connection or do I need a more dramatic fix. I'll try the contact
cleaner/enhancer route (I wanted an excuse to buy some Stabilant 22), and
keep and eye on it. Thanks again!
