Hmmmm... Not sure. That's definitely one of the
connections I plan to get to. Every connection that
was replaced on this car seems to be done as quickly
and with as little effort as possible, so if that's
not an original connection, I wouldn't be surprised if
it's cripmed only, and possibly not well. I'll check
it next time I get to work on the car.

Thanks!

If they stopped working for some reason, would that
cause the car to suddenly die?

Thanks again!
