PS: PREVIOUS OWNERS SUCK, why do they think a roll of yellow wire will fix every electrical problem?!?![/QUOTE]
Or like on the truck I'm workin on, they used alligator clamps to wire the A/C, threw in some kind of connector(computer?) in the mix... I was scared to try an start it till I changed a few of them... Jinx
