Any ideas ???

After you fix that you may have to find the cause of it.
But then again it may just have been a wire getting hot that started the whole mess because of a bad connection.
I'm sure glad we got this figured out. Now come on down and put this engine in my Dart for me. LOL just kidding I'll get it done before next fall.
why can't I buy the piece as a whole? This is all I can get.
