Re: [DML] 2653 Stalled out on the highway this morning............

[Hank <heskin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had pretty much the identical experience happen to me a few years ago on
the NJ Turnpike.

I was able to pull off to the side, and a while later, the car started up
and ran fine.

It turned out to be a bad/corroded connector on the ballast resistors which
was flaking out.
