[DeTomaso] Electical gremlin

[Christopher Kimball]

Gerry,

Thanks for the tip.  Actually, Bill Taylor sent me the wiring diagram for 
the fuses (thanks, Bill!) and when I checked the fuse, it immediately 
fizzled a bit and I knew the contact was corroded.  Sure enough, all I had 
to do was twist it a bit and, presto!  Everything works!

Thanks again,

Chris
