Dear Lee,
That is a brilliant suggestion, and I think you just saved me a bunch of
time! Just so I know, however, is that fuse #3 and fuse $12 counting up
from the bottom, or counting down from the top? (I guess if I find a green
wire I'll know...) I probably could also look at my owner's manual, since I
believe it has a complete rundown of the fuses and what they do.
Thanks again--I appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Chris
