Sorry about that.
Thought it might have been that seat relay giving you problems. Other
than that I dont have a clue. Although with the car off it should on
draw about .1 to .2 amp. Might be worth checking

to the relay so the light glows when the plugs glow instead of

This is a common problem -- you have about 200,000 m
WOW, where did you run off too? Yes, it is actually. Its a very

On the charging problem, yes, its your old car. The relay for the

If it started when she left home, you'd think she could drive quite
a ways without an alt and it would still restart.
The intermittent nature of the problem makes me wonder if the
GP relay is sticking on sometimes.

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.
One of the SDL's is not acting right. Every so often while the wife is
out and about, the thing wont start when she goes to leave wherever.
The battery is just not strong enough to turn it over. Usually hooking
up a jumper pack gets it going. It can do this once a week, or go many
weeks and
