Has this ever happened to you?

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I _wish_ it was the driver's side. Tracing it wouldn't be that much of a

But no, it has to be on the passenger side and removing things to get to it
has been fruitless up 'til now.

I'll get back on the horse tomorrow...

Thanks, JT
