|
|
Inge told me I have to locate the "short" on TWEETY that is now blowing a fuse after we had the driver side front fender painted recently. I had the same issue with that front turn signal years ago.
Probably just need to make sure there is no short where they reinstalled it on the fender.
I will not take up/need any "real" garage time for this project!!
I'll leave that for all the BIG projects.
Ken

We should probably make it a priority to go over Tweety looking for shorts and other maintenance issues. She probably could use a valve adjustment and tune up too. We can't have Inge's car lacking in any way!
Mike can sleep with the dog. (just like at home) _________________ 73 Typ481

Kris,
#8 Fuse - Emergency Flasher (8 AMP)
All was fine until the shop painted the front drivers side fender. I am thinking it is the turn signal causing the short condition.

VOLKSTOCK TOP TEN MOMENTS:
1. If I were an ENGINE STAND, where would I be and who could bring me to VOLKSTOCK this year? - (Your welcome Gary!!)
2. Did someone say they were going to be bringing cookies this year? - (Feel free as they make wonderful snacks for all to enjoy!)
3. Yes we bought some DILL PICKLES whoever you are!
4. Don't forget your bathing suits to cool off in the pool.
5. Don't forget the LUGNUTS!! - (Names are hidden to protect the innocent - OK Jim Bear?)
6. Who will be lucky enough to get to Ken's early enough to assist in moving the F-1 this year?
7. Who will be unlucky enough to be there last on Sunday to help push the F-1 back this year?
8. Don't forget the LUGNUTS AGAIN!! - Names still hidden to protect the innocent - (Jim Bear said I could not mention DiggerD - oops!!)
9. Did he really use a SLEDGE HAMMER to break it free?
10. Ken do you have a ... (FILL IN THE BLANK) - Try to bring what you need as Ken's garage is limited!!
