Update for anyone that might experience this same problem. Was a short in the wiring. Not really a surprise but it was tough to find. Ended up being in the fuse panel under the steering wheel. A really good mechanic found it after a couple of hours of tracing the wiring. He had to actually remove the fuse box and on the "backside" of the fuse box one of the wires was loose. Don't ask how this could have happened but I hope you never experience this because it was very frustrating indeed. Oh well, momma is back to lovin' her Freestar and I'm getting sleep again. Cheers. //rick// |
