Thanks Neil, The OEM battery hook up has been modified for the aux battery,
& the entire harness from the relay to the dash is toast-self inflicted
problem from grounding the aux battery terminal to the seat base! Do not do
this at home or anywhere if you want to avoid a mess.

YMMV,

Tom-going to get new aux battery, it was needed anyway & start over w/ the
help of my mechanic via AAA-YMMV
