Would need to find out what codes it has. Nice color. Interior a little rough,
but not terrible. Might be in the vicinity of a sane price, depending on the
diagnostic.

They are easy to bench-test using a standard current-limited lab power supply.
Set the current limit to less than the fuse value, and start raising the
voltage.
At the trip point it'll short out and the voltage will drop to zero. Passed.

To keep things less confusing, I’m asking this question separately from the
idling issue which Kaleb identified as the voltage overload relay.
So I took my car to the shop three weeks ago in order to fix a broken lower
ball joint- stupid Boston potholes. They ended up rebuilding the whole front
These are a classic crowbar overvoltage protector. The voltage, if over
a threshold, triggers a big-ass SCR that shorts out the power, thus blowing
the fuse and protecting all the presumably-sensitive downstream circuitry.

You can check the fuse but it’s not likely blown.

Just open it and resolder, if you know how to do such things. You'll need a

Who knows. Odo still not working. I’m guessing 400K though.
BTW, 3 weeks ago after hitting a pothole a bunch of times - same one (shit
state of Massachusetts) I hear a bad noise when turning into driveway, and
front wheel collapses into wheel well. Lower ball joint sheared off! Just got
it back
Thank you!

CHANGE your FUSES.
Kidding aside, with the variety of affected systems, sounds to me like it could
be a general low voltage symptom. Check battery, alternator, grounding points,
etc.

For the past year or so the ABS light comes on periodically and when that
happens the car starts idling rough and slow, the tachometer stops working and
the A/C stops blowing cold air. The problem always corrects itself within a few
minutes or less but now it is persistent and it’s very annoying
Looks at least as nice as the one I posted earlier today, at a slightly more
sane (still high) price.

Looks nice and low miles but even so the price is seriously crazy.
Also note that AC is set on "Lo" which could mean it's not cooling very well.

Agreed. The “Best Offer” thing is actually pretty nice, as you can plug in
different amounts and get feedback on whether or not it’s likely to be
accepted. I’ve done this a fair amount of time with used auto parts.

The *only* times I've been able to win eBay auctions (and similar sites where
the auctions end at a fixed time) are by sniping. It seems there's always
someone willing to pay more to "win."
I don't really participate in online auctions very often, so my experience may
not be a truly representat
Very common. The “You’re not going to beat me!!” seems to come up at nearly
every public auction I’ve been to in the past. Stupid behavior, it ends up
costing everyone more and just makes the winner a loser relative to the value
of what they’re bidding on. Just like the dummies in online auction

Just one example, of many.
