OK back at the library - I was released after 2 jury selections (they asked if I knew any deputies, and I happened to know 5, 3 of which were working in the same building, a the same time, and they let me go!)
Thanks for the reply Dave
It's a BN coil from Pelican, could it be bad? I'll put the old crusty one on to see if there's a diff? Also, According to whtat you describe, I've got everything hooked up okay, grrr! Is there a fuseable link somewhere that could be shot and robbing power?
Thanks all
Jeff
