Re: Push button start

Neat. Does the button control just the starter motor circuit? And can you still start it with the key or do you need to use the button to do the cranking?

Re: Radio Harness Problems

Have you done a continuity test for the radio circuit yet? If there is a short to ground somewhere in the circuit, that will cause a fuse to blow immediately.

Re: Blown fuse repeatedly

If there is a short, then current can flow directly from the battery to ground without anything limiting it. This means that a humongous amount of current will try to flow through the fuse. The fuse...

I know on my 92, the gauges fuse feed a lot of things including the instrument cluster. If that's also the case with the 82's, you may have to check a bunch of stuff.
