Side-of-the-road cure:  kill the battery to reset the ECUs,  restart, and
problem may have gone away


Dennis:
 
Good suggestions. Since I just changed out the battery I presumed it to be  a 
"start from Square One" situation on that account.
 
I'm going to do the diagnostics and reset the ECU and go from there after  
physically examining it for damage. If I observe any I may just try the 
silicone 
 trick as a temporary cure, and to confirm the diagnosis.
 
And to all of the group, my apologies for the number of long trailers and  
responses which will probably fill up a digest by itself. Working in the  
Woodburn office today and the computer there just adds them in. I didn't want 
to  
neglect to thank anyone who chipped in with advice and I figured that it would  
be better to recognize them than to just cut down on bandwidth. Yes, I know  
there is probably a way to cut it off the end on personal stuff, and yes, it 
can  be annoying on a list like that, but since it was "suggested" by the 
lawyers for  the underwriters of our malpractice/professional liability 
insurance I 
guess I'm  just going to live with it and ask you to do the same.
