[FUZZY]

Although I was awake I hadn't crawled out of bed yet. (6:23 AM)


The wife heard the phone ring, but couldn't get to it before it went to the answering maching.

A short time later (7:00 AM) I hear the door bell ringing. When I get to the door, it's Wildbill.

He was in the SSR and said he had a big problem. He said when he started the SSR today the top wouldn't go down, no windows , power locks, the radio didn't work and the gauges were all funky. And to top it off he and the Mrs were suppose to have left early this morning for Myrtle Beach.

He also said he had seen a mouse in the truck that scurried up under the dash.

First things first we checked the fuses. AOK.

Next I pulled the center control panel to peek under it. Sure enough their was a nice mouse hotel in there.

Removed the shifter, windsuppressr, entire center counsole. Found that the mouse had gotten hungry and Bill didn't leave anything for him to eat. The little fella must have been starving so he ate the coating off three wires in the harness, causing them to short and sends mixed signals to the computer.

After a quick repair of the wires and some testing of all the effected circuits, everything was back in good working order.

Reintalled everything and tested once again. Still A.O.K.

Next I removed the silver face trim and the screws for the upper dash panel. Pulled it loose and the top dash pad enough to shine a light inside. Luckily there were no signs of Mice in the dash area. Reinstallled everything and had bill give it a run through. Door locks, t/c, windows, roof, gauges, heater controls, etc.


Bill was a happy camper, everything was working like it should.


Now (8:35 AM) he and the wife are on their way in the SSR to Myrtle Beach with their golf clubs, Via a stop over in Maggie Valley.

Enjoy the trip and good luck in the veterans golf trounament.
