Thank you.
And they can't make up their mind if they're gonna use the metric system or standard!

Basic troubleshooting 101... Get yourself a VOM, learn how to use it and go after these problems. You'll be surprised how handy a tool it is and how simple the answer to your problem is.

live 24/7 it is. I have to remember to manually tuen off my RD whenever I park the Stang for any length of time. One of these days she'll be hardwired...
