If so, you may have a '9 volt coil' operating on 12 volts (roughly speaking). That could account for the overheating and eventual failure. Or it could just be bad out of the box. It happens.</div><div><br></div><div>I really dislike crimp-on connectors. Where possible, I solder on connectors then insulate with heat shrink tubing. Of course, that method has drawbacks too. And its not suitable for on the go repairs. </div><div><br></div><div>I also dislike pushing cars. As I read your note I was reminded of the time my Testarossa failed. That's a big, heavy car to push AND doing so seems to confirm everyone's assumption. Unlike your Bimmer driver's almost-compassionate words, I just got pointing and laughing! Its funny how everyone seems to hate successful people. </div><div><br></div><div>-rick, empathizing</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:9px;color:#575757">Sent on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S® 5</div></div><div></div></body></html>
