Steve,
Sounds like ya got a wire rubbin somewhere or perhaps your grounds and
connections need a good cleaning, which is very possible.
When I rewired my car I used anti-seize compound on all the connectors and
ground connections to prevent rust and crud from forming and after pulling a
few wires many years later I found the connections to be clean and the
antiseize seemed to be doing its job.
But then again I use antiseize on almost everything, and every nut and bolt
on the car. After disassembling a few cars and encountering frozen nuts,
bolts, screws I felt there had to be a better way.
Mike
Check those connectors and grounds!!!!!!!!!!
