Thanks again Errol. I was thinking that I could integrate the new circuits
into one big fuse box, but I think it might just be easier to get one new
one to use with the old one. I'm going shopping for relays, wire and a fuse
box tomorrow.
I need a list of all the relays on a 1600 as I'd like to replace them all.
Anyone?
