CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  It's always good to have a mystery solved.  The
upside is that by the time you're done, you will be an expert.  Good
luck with the rest of your system checks.

Well, Dave Staten, my building buddy,  came through and saved the day.  I
was scratching my head over the EM issue and he suggested we revisit the
buttons.  Ok, no problem. Well, I had gotten too close to the issue.
Apparantly I got momentary switches that were reversed of the needed type
(ie normally closed/normally open...opps. DOH).

The switches that came with the unit were misplaced ages ago and these were
what we had around...then replaced by new ones that were identical....but
new (<g>...just still wrong).  Well, we disconnected them all and the unit
came back up to normal.  NOW, that does not explain why it was working at
first....but in this case I really don't care what is WAS doing as long it
is it working well now.  I will replace with the proper switches tomorrow
after work.

Now on to the PCM wiring issue and the PSRU throwing oil out of the forward
spline (hopefully we just overfilled the engine oil).  Ok, this is fun again
<g>.

THANKS GUYS FOR HELP HOLD THIS JUNIOR ELECTICIANS HAND!!!!  YOU ARE ALL VERY
APPRICIATED.  THANKS DAVE.

All the best,

Chris
moving forward....towards success (?) ;-)
