Hi Art--

Yes, happy to report for the sake of (my) sanity that I have seen the test socket and gray plug on other 240s.

Two of my 240s, both manufactured in April, 1993 (the last full month of 240 production I believe, the last 240 rolling off the line, according to my understanding, on or about May 4, 1993) have the fuses on the battery post. The door label on my third 1993 240 indicates manufacture during November, 1992, and that car does not have the fuses on the battery post. None of the three have the test socket in the "usual" place, and I could find no socket and gray plug anywhere else.

Any theories on why such variability at the tail end of the long, long production period of our (mostly) wonderful 240 bricks?

Just think, essentially the same great car produced from 1975 to 1993. What a run! (when I learned back in early 1993 that that was the last year of production I bit the bullet and ordered a new one --I was still driving my 1976 at the time, and didn't want to run out of 240s for a long time!).
