Interesting, sort of like "rabbit hunting" with CB radios....
I just figured it was for bad weather or something to help avoid breaking...
I fixed the short this morning, turns out I had run a screw thru the motor wire when I put the cover back on, got it to run up a few times and quit again, so I put it all the way up and pulled off the connector.
Went back to the wrecker this morning, they had crushed the car yesterday...only one they had...DOH! Still searching for a motor mount. Did replace the clock caps, found one had a leg corroded off inside the cap, clock works great now. Went to test radio again, turned on and went off....oh no, not again!...wait, the whole car's dead.....oops, ran the battery dead with all the messing around of things I was doing yesterday, lol nothing the charger wont fix.
