Arthur,
With your direction I located a black (rubber enclosed) fuse attached to the side of the box supporting the fusebox (the tower?). It is a small space so I opted to FIRST jiggle/shake the connection rather than try to disengage it and have to figure out a way to e-attach it.
I jiggled and shook it and turned the key and it works.
In the two weeks prior to the problem...on two occassions I drove through parts of California in 100+ degrees for hours....106 in Bakersfield and 111 in San Raphael. You know there was much expansion and contraction when you add the heat of this engine...at 134,000 miles on the odometer.
So tomorrow brings another story or I drive off into the sunset THANKING you!
