    Right rear flare is riding in my back seat. I lost the front flare yesterday after the blowout. I'm surprised it fell off. Actually, no I'm not! Yes- documenting the trip in photos, but haven't been blogging like most others seem to. I may though... and I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks for the concise reply. Not sure those are available in Costa Rica... and today. Life is on hold until I can find something here (San Jose). I'm about to find out I suppose...

    This is the problem. It absolutely will resume not working tomorrow. That I'm sure of. I can tell by the brightness of the instrument lights that it's working now- and that's why this is maddening. I've read a few other posting and will crawl under and check the starter wires tomorrow a.m. I'm...

    Literally Stranded in Mexico... electrical problemo

    Use to have a vw that did that, and carried a hammer around for years! This isn't a stuck solenoid. Could be wiring to/from starter though and I'm trying to troubleshoot that with IBALLENGINEER...
