I did suffer this problem with my second LBC with a Crane ignition. Left the
ignition on while trouble shooting on the car's electrical system and fried the
Crane's box. One of the reasons why I am considering a Crane for my future
nonLBC winter vehicle is that then I will always have a spare box available.
Fortunately 20 years ago I purchased a self contained electronic ignition unit
(proverbial black box, still works!) from J.C. Whitney that is very valuable in
diagnosing ignition problems by being able to bypass the vehicle ignition.
