"Had to disconnect main battery terminals to reboot the computer to get
home." 440 in my old Ford Ranger just cancelled the cruise control if
it was engaged. Just like Windoze Jim!
Glad your house has survived ... really hoping for Bob's.

Yes, routing is important. But what you're missing is that a major
issue is RF getting into the vehicle's computers, and the RF noise
from those computers getting into our DC wiring. I learned this the
hard way with my 2006 big Toyota SUV. Calling CQ barefoot on 20M SSB
put the car's computer into "limp-home" mode in the NV high desert.
