Re: Electrical Problems

[Dave Hord <spokes@mail.the-wire.com>]

Someday I mean to get around to actually posting my solutions to the 90q
problems (feb.). My electrical problem (no radio, no interior lights, no
trunk lights, no hood lights, trip computer dead, no clock)  Fuse kept
blowing. Turns out that the Cigarette lighter was shorting out.

My father tells me that these commonly short out over time...start there(?).
