But what I'm saying is that something's amiss, because on the feed side of that fuse I have only one black wire going out, and nothing else there. Its a mess. The ignition switch wire isn't on that terminal where it should be. Neither are the reverse lights for that matter. There's only one male terminal available on the feed side, as opposed to the two on each of the other sections of the fuse box. Hard to tell, but my guess is the other one broke off so a po re-rigged it. Everything seems to be working ok now, and my run=on is down to one cylinder firing, so I'm very tempted to let sleeping dog's lie and stay out of that rat's nest (to mix metaphors). -- Mike Wodkowski 72 SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com
