Yeah, really. I'm suprized the cigarette lighter isn't fused directly, or relay'd or something.

Start your car from your cigarette lighter? The (obviously American) manufacturers should be hung for that. I *know* my cigarette lighter shuts off when the car is off, and when the starter is engagued. I can see how they might even ground it, or have a low pull resistor.

Unfortunately, the 1989 760's electrical system is completely differant than the one documented (very well I might add) in my Haynes 82-88 7x0 manual. Next cheque, I'll be ordering the official wiring diagram, since I often need it.

Ever seen the new bulb failure warning system on 88- 760's and 960's? It's beautiful.
