Damn ghosts in the machine! The new main harness is fully installed. Lots of
new parts too. All connections checked and double checked, bulbs and sockets
cleaned etc etc etc. Di elec grease on all. .  And the ghost of Lucas is
back. Most annoying an intermittant short in the signal/voltage
stabalizer/guage power (brakeslights?, back-up lights?) circuit (green). No
problem, no problem, no problem.....blown fuse!!! Use a bulb wired across
the fuse, dull glow w/ ign on, no glow /w volt/stab. disconnected, little
brighter glow w/ signal switch on, etc.... all nominal as far as I can tell.

Repalce fuse...take a drive in the country, beautiful sunny day in the Wine
Country. All systems at par everything works. Stop at a roadside cafe for
soup and salad and beer. Enjoy scenery! Back to the gleaming roadster, turn
on signal left out of parking lot, no signal...no fuel/temp guages. Blown
Fuse....... !!!!!! 

Intermittant short in volt stab????? Brake lights???? Reverse lights????
Some kind of failure in electronic flasher unit???

RATS. 

Deano..... Waiting for delivery of Dan Masters guide.
