yep, all bells and whistles work.

two fuse blocks that I could find - (3) 30-amp fuses on battery housing, the few dozen on driver-side inside panel. is there a third?

good idea to isolate relays, but aren't they generally defaulted to "off" position?

two more observations tonite:

* running lights remain on even when the parking break is engaged while car is started or running

* key cannot be removed from ignition unless forcefully placed in 'park' - generally takes two or three times slamming into 'park' to remove key.

TCM maybe?
