Re: [DML] door marker lights

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is something wrong with the wiring. I've chased this down in at 
least one car and found that critters in the door had chewed thru the 
wiring causing it to short against the body. Cleaning up the wiring 
and removing the dead mice solved the problem. Mice love the 
airconditioner ducting and it leads them right into the doors. 

(sarcasm note) If you keep putting in bigger fuses you'll eventually 
find the problem, by burning up the wiring (not recommended!).

I'll bet Bernie didn't know that C&B was a former habitrail.....

lights with LED's to reduce the current draw so that the fuse won't
