Phil 200 1991

Hi Phil,

Was I standing too close??

Thanks for the thoughtful response! You did not offend me. Sorry if you misinterpreted my message. Yes, being open and honest is best policy. We are on the same page...:) My post was actually aimed at Art Benstein. I thought his post was misdirected and overly critical. Maybe I was being a little too thin-skinned?

BTW - I totally agree with your post.

"I trying to entice him to do exactly that, learn something. I want him to invest in himself and get a voltmeter." Oh yeah, do I ever agree with that! He should get a voltmeter or multimeter and learn how to use it. It will prove to be helpful in the future too.

Personally, I am not particularly technical. You could call me an electrical moron. I am much better at seeing the big picture. But I am getting better! One of the biggest positives I got out of owning my 90 240 for 11 years was becoming more proficient at troubleshooting problems with the car (particularly electrical). A big reason for that was the assistance I received here...:) However, I really had to work at and am continuing to do so.

On the positive side, maybe my tough post might serve to motivate him further. I hope so... I truly understand it is not easy. Old car electronics are definitely not easy.

Peace,
Jim
