Re: [T3] wire burnout

Check at the places where the harness is the tightest. Like where it goes
through the quarter panel under the back seat, and where it comes out back
at the rear by where the pressure sensor used to be. If it is only coming on
with the key, it is shorted to a black wire (15/54). You might get lucky.
