Thought I'd update my post of Sep 2006. Everybody was figuring that I'd burn the car up or there would be major problems with my cheap fix.
Well, way over two years now and everything still works as it did when I did the fix and nothing has "burned up".
I'm sorry, but this is one cheap fix that does the job. The turn signals still work, the brake lights work (and the third brake light doesn't "blink with the turn signals ... as I said this is impossible). This is a daily driver used over 30 miles every day.
I stick to my story, fix it for under $10!
