<VV> no lights or gauges

[Charles Morgan]

Mark, since the car has been sitting for 10 years the electrical connectors 
probably have a lot of corrosion.  The first thing I'd do is get a can of 
"contact cleaner" from Radio Shack or an electronics parts house and clean 
the contacts inside of every connector.  For bad corrosion, a Dremel tool 
with brass wire brush works well.  Of course, the battery must be 
disconnected first.
