Dear Andrew,

        I intalled a Bosch hot-start relay.  I snaked the wires up to the front
right (passenger) side of the passenger compartment under the engine seal
into the engine compartment.  I mounted the relay and fuse holder inside
the engine compartment on the front (right) wall above the engine
compartmenet air seal.

Now, I still had hot-start problems.  So I installed a new steering
column switch, a plastic switch that mounts below the lock cylinder and
now my problem has gone away.  Based on my one, and limited, experience,
I would replace the column switch first as that does not add another
relay and fuse that could potentially fail

I also wanted to ask about was if someone's installed this hot start
relay
switch that I ordered from BusDepot so they give me a few tips.  Main
things
I'm curious about are the easiest way to access the starter &
transmission &
convenient place to mount this sucker.
