Yes Jack - please elaborate.  I'm about to R&R my harness since it's out of
the car.

>>>Jack--can you elaborate more about this?   I haven't poked around the
front end of a Pantera for awhile, but I can't remember any extra wiring
there, other than the fact that the radiator fans and lights are both
grounded at
the central ground lug under the dash.   This results in a bunch of long
ground wires for no good reason.   Performance of those components can be
improved by locally grounding them near the components.   Is this what you
are
referring to?
