Not full disclosure, but I will say that I got +0.5V out of the cigarette 
lighter when it was disconnected from all but the dash hole.  But there was no 
voltage from the dash, itself.  the most obvious explanation was that its 
internal components made a battery.  Not a lie, but even I am not nutty enough 
to swallow that one.

After solving the problem, I decided to take a celebratory drive in my running 
Spridget.  It has been running fine.  In fact, I was pleased that it started 
right up after sitting three months.  Of course, on that day, it would not 
start - a weak connection at the solenoid, which sounded like a weak battery.
