[DeTomaso] back-up light power source

[Steve Hawkins]

Just remember if you leave the car in reverse the battery will be dead when
you go to start it.

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
