Sorry for the double-resoponse, but I had another thought. In order to
test this viably, what I thought I'd do is hook it up as we've talked about
using alligator clips on the battery, so I can connect and disconnect it
easily. This way, I can drive it around for a few days to make sure if
that's the challenge before I go messing with the hard-wiring. Good idea,
or no?
Regards,
