All the car's power runs through a small gauge wire. Finding the problem, which was inside the gauge, took a bit of work. Bypassed the amp gauge and got it running just before dark.<div><br></div><div>It might make a good test setup</div><div><br></div><div>For now, I'm going to continue my LED conversion. I have already planned relays to reduce the power at the ignition switch for the lights. I think I will fuse every circuit and slip the idea on a single protection point</div><div><br></div><div> Once again, this old list has come through. Thanks again.</div><div>I miss Frank<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div>
