glad ya got it figgered out, Alan - didn't think you had discovered a new stovebolt electrical problem - just like when ya walk on the wrong kinda carpet w/ certain shoes on and get a zap next doorknob ya touch - only thing I've had cause it in the truck tho' was a sleezy seat cover
and Craig, back "in the day" those hangin ground straps were pretty common, car and truck - when polyester was king
