Yeah!  If you exclude the influx from the open CA border around San Diego CA is 
having a declining population.  I wonder why?

Have you tried consulting with the wiring guru on this list; AKA your 
brother-in-law.  Heck, with the proper incentive he might even make a trip to 
the cold climes of snowy northwest AR for Xmas and fix your wiring.
 
As a side:  I just got back from the glass shop with two new pieces of mirror 
glass for the VWOA elephant ears that I am restoring.  Last time I had to 
replace the glass in one was when the howling headwinds (70-90mph) encountered 
towing to the Cal classic broke the glass in one.  I searched all over Anaheim 
and south LA trying to find a glass shop to get it fixed before OCTO and the 
Classic.  Finally found one to cut a new glass and he charged me $35.  The best 
glass cutter in Nacogdoches just did two of them and charged me $10.  I know 
why people are leaving CA and moving to Texas.

So, much like how my ribs still hurt after more than a year, Murray is still 
recovering from running into that tree years ago.
 
When I did all the body stretching and repair from kissing the tree, I had to 
take out the parcel tray. Years passed and I decided to put it back in. Well, 
guess what? Murray is not the same shape as he was! The parcel tray has to fit 
in to a notch on the bottom of the speedometer pod. The parcel tray was a good 
two plus inches from fitting in there. Murray looks OK from the outside, but 
not at all from the inside. 
  
So. I bought a rusted up parcel tray at the last classic and started trimming 
away with my cut off tool. Cut, try to fit, cut, try a again, cut more in a 
different place, try to fit, cut off whole end, better, still no cigar. Finally 
I cram and bang until it fits in to the notch. Now I have to take it out and 
weld in a new back and an “L” bracket to make a screw hole. OK, yea! It’s Done! 
  
Now the radio won’t work. I had to push all the wiring up under the dash to fit 
the parcel tray and there is no power to the radio. I am hoping that I can find 
the undone connection without taking out the f#!%*^! Parcel tray.
