Loose wire?  Maybe on the OD switch.  If you've had to tighten and  
retighten the nut that secures the switch to the escutcheon then you  
may have developed a break in the wire by the switch moving around.   
The car might jiggle the wire when you accelerate and  
decelerate...guess you should only accelerate. Or get out your solder  
gun.

BTW someone on the list suggested that a solder gun will work better  
if you loosen and tighten the holding nuts on the tips and it made a  
couple of my soldering guns work way better.  Thanks list.
