I'm going to have several electrical questions. 1st, Is pin #8, on the 14 pin plug at the relay board, the only switched 12v+ source in the engine compartment? TIA, Kent

Never mind. Nailed it. I ohmed out the fuse holder since it was removed. Both leads are about 4" long. The fried side was 2.7 ohms the first read but improved to 1.7 ohms after some jostling. The good side was .4 ohms. So at one point that lead had at least 7 times the resistance. And this is the factory's crimp, not mine. There are a few pics showing the readings but look closely at the spade terminals. I roughed up the burned one when I removed it but that mangled ring only clamped the insulation so there was no electrical contact there previous to my horsing it out. When I compared the length of the bare wire in the good spade then held it alongside the bad side it was apparent the wire was only 1/2 way into the crimp ring. You can't see it protruding past the crimp ring as it should. What I do see is some hard green stuff. Maybe residue from the old holder after cooking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'll break down the crimp on the spade tomorrow to see how far the wire actually went in. Damn it's nice when I figure one out myself.
