Thanks for the kind words. I maintained that car like it was my baby. I expect your son to have many, many years and hundreds of thousands of miles of enjoyment in the car.

I still can't believe the OVP fuse didn't blow, saving the damage to the bulbs and the blower motor regulator. At least it didn't ruin the HVAC blower motor, which was just replaced by Enrique at Mr. MB Motors to the tune of $500.

BTW, if your son checks out the maintenance history, the OVP was replaced under the Starmark Warranty with the good part number version.
