hadn't ever heard about that fix.  I bought a relay for a snow-plow that functions the same way and installed it tonite.  it works.  I also bought a new switch that I'll put in this weekend that has to be held on.  I had an on-off toggle switch with a light but unfortunately the light was covered when I installed it.  that was to be my reminder to turn off power.

Now you know why they came up with all those annoying buzzer/beeper sounds on the new cars.  Your gaze goes out the window once the engine is running.  Warning lights?  What warning?  I didn't see no warning, and now my engine is seized, overheated or I am out of gas.  Great warning system there eh?

got the relay in last nite and it started right up.  even started this morn at 0 F altho it would die as fuel still thick.  got it going within a minute or so tho.  10 seconds of glow is all I need.
