[DML] Re: Need help (DeLorean Electrical System Weaknesses)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Overall wire gauge is too small. Some fused circuits, such as #8, are
badly designed (a catch-all for everything that was left?) and
"normally" operate at the limits of safety. Unfused headlight switch
is just plain negligent. DeLorean electrical systems are salvageable,
but far from optimal as they left the factory. Even devices that may
never actually burst into flame, such as A/C panel bulbs, still cause
damage to the vehicles.

I have personal experience with several other contemporary marques
that suffer no such electrical maladies, and remain in daily service
with none of the component attention and replacement required by a
DeLorean.
