[TR] Another over drive concern

[TERRY SMITH]

You're right. That's the next after the electrical simply because I'm sick of R&Ring the tunnel despite having it down to a 10 minute ritual. One commenter made the great point that in his experience, the clamp connecting to the part that goes to the solenoid, was slipping because the ends met when he tightened. ...As sometimes happens with battery terminals. --Thanks for the reminder, Dave.

I have a short somewhere. Will try the relay when it comes in. After that, will rewire and re-solder all connections, replacing the modern two prong fuse unit with a standard glass fuse unit, in case the broken wire is in there somewhere. Stay tuned!
