Re: [DML] Constantly blowing the #1 fuse... help please

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, some success so far, I managed to get it started by unplugging 
the vacuum solenoid, moved it out of the garage to work on it in 
better light, and before I hit the end of the driveway I heard 
the "pop" of the #1 fuse again, that was all she wrote, dead again. 

Now with the vacuum solenoid unplugged it STILL blows the #1 fuse 
now just as before, as soon as I turn the key to acc. Do you have 
another suggestion to try to get this somewhat driveable long enough 
to get on a trailer? Thanks Martin, and anyone else with a 
suggestion they may have.

I have until about 10pm eastern time to get it running before I 
depart for PF, and I'd hate to not participate in the concours 
because of a damn tempermental fuse. And it just started this 
yesterday too, so I haven't had much diagnosis time either.


Thanks everyone,
