My Duster Adventures
Oh yea. And this happened. I’d posted this in the Live from the Nats thread last night so I’ll just copy and paste it.
We just got home about 1/2 hour ago. Had an incident free weekend! Until this morning anyway.... car was running fine when we got to the motel last night. Checked out this morning, hit the key and.... nothing. Knew the battery wasn’t dead but it wouldn’t turn over, click or anything. Jumped the starter solenoid and it cranked but wouldn’t fire. Then I noticed the ignition switch wire connector was smoking when the key was off. I then noticed there was no power to the gauges in the run position but there was in the start position. So I had Marge hold the key in the start position while I jumped the starter and it fired right up.
Oh, on top of all this all my tools were in my truck, at the Nats, 30 miles away. :soapbox:
Well, we headed out for the Nats, rotating my hands and knee between steering, shifting and holding the key in the start position. Lol. About half way there I jammed a screwdriver threw the key ring and under the dash. :lol:
