[DML] Re: car mysteriously dies 2 years in a row

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Andy - I would take a serious look at the inertia switch.  Noah also 
had another good suggestion, so you have some things to consider.  
When I bought my car, the inertia switch had been unplugged, and 
replaced with a very large paper clip to complete the circuit.  The 
plug on the end of the wire harness was also melted somewhat.  I 
asked the PO about it, and he muttered something about the car dying 
sometimes, and that this was the "accepted workaround".  Yikes!  We 
also recently had a local car with intermittent issues, and we 
replaced the inertia switch.  The electrical terminals on the switch 
had been obviously overheated over a period of time, and the plastic 
housing was deformed.  We have inertia switches in stock just in 
case this turns out to be the issue in your case.
