Report back on that. How long was that car sitting?

Bingo...pulled apart the bulkhead connectors and cleaned etc but nothing. Then pulled the aftermarket radio to get at the ammeter, put a jumper wire and bingo. Same thing happened with my old Toyota 2000GT. Took me forever to find it that time. The bigger issue is my "old man skin". It gets depressing when every time you bump or scrape against something you are bleeding. I used to do this stuff for a living and now I need a supply of bandaids and Advil.
