Glad you got it fixed. I buy most of my LEDs from SuperbrightLED.com. =
I=E2=80=99ve always found them very helpful when I had questions, =
particularly when I switched my reflector conversion from halogens to =
LEDs.

Listers,
=20
First, thanks to all who responded to my electrical dilemma. Many =
people thought the fuse was the culprit.
=20
I did finally resolve the issue, discovering several causes. =20
=20
Using the wiring diagram, I started at the solenoid, all the way to the =
fuse block and discovered a frayed wire with a corroded connector at the =
35 amp fuse. I corrected and cleaned that connection and when I turned =
the key, the 35 amp fuse instantly blew, I obviously couldn't see it =
happen but it blew. Maybe it was blown and I didn't realize it. The =
break in the fuse link was at the very end of the fuse therefore hard to =
see. I kept checking circuits and eventually found a short circuited =
flasher unit. I had switched to LED lights throughout the car a couple =
of years ago and used an electronic flasher from SuperBright bulbs. I =
replaced that flasher with an original Lucas flasher, inserted a new 35 =
amp fuse and everything was back to normal. Actually, I was surprised =
that the Lucas flasher worked with the LEDs.
=20
Once again, I am impressed with the wisdom and help offered and by the =
list.
=20
By the way, I called SuperBright to order a new flasher and much to my =
surprise, they are sending a free replacement, as long as I send the =
original back to them. I guess they want to discover the cause. They =
do have a 2 year guarantee (they told me about it) on all their =
electronic items, no questions asked. I was impressed and I don't own =
their stock.
=20
Thanks for all the help,
=20
