Has anyone else experienced this digifant shorting to > ground problem? I had exacly the same symptoms with my 87 Syncro GL (non Camper). Plus throuw in the tendency to cut out on right hand turns. I fiddled with things and the problem went away. I did have the digifant brain unit unfastened when the problem dissappeared. I drove around with the brain unbolted for a month and everything worked great. I re-mounted it and it has continued to work great for several years now. Reading your post, I'm guessing that I just got lucky when re-mounting it in such a way not to cause the problem. Regards, Jim Davis
