My DeLorean was stalled recently and would not start. As it turned out
the fuel pump was not properly grounded. After a complete diagnosis
with the excellent help from Steve and Warren from DeLorean Motors in
Houston via cell phone, I discovered that the plug in the left front
fender well was "charred" and the fuel pump "ground" was lost . This
plug is located inside the left front fender where the windshield
bottle is located.

But this plug is definitely a potential problem that should be
anticipated in our DeLoreans.
This is good advice. This plug is also a good place to look if you are
having *any* strange problem with front-clip electrics. This includes
weak windshield washer pump, flaky headlights and turn-signal "fast
flash" syndrome in the absence of bad bulbs. The charring that Bobby
mentioned was likely caused by high current through dirty contacts in
the connector (the same thing that happens in the fuse box). Cleaning
and tightening the pins in this connector is good hygiene.
