All,
  As if losing most of what we own from a house fire last Tuesday wasn't
enough, now my transportation has come to a dead stop. 87 automatic, had
some starting issues which (now) I see Kay have been some loose connections
at the starter AND a broken wire (which was probably just a few strands of
copper most of the past 2 weeks. Anyhow, I was idling, shifted to R AMD the
engine went dead stop.  No power to 4-ways or anything else. Lights on dash
DO come on but so does the green turn indicator light and it's on steady if
the key is turned. Very weird.  Relay 21 on the panel cycles about every 10
seconds with the ignition off and not at all with the key turned.  Any
hidden fuses or fusible links I might be overlooking?  All other fuses look
good but I'll check again.  Never been stuck this bad and no clues.
