Duane,

I haven't tried that yet because I don't think it will do us any good. The ERAs don't have a charging light so I don't think we're backfeeding any voltage to the MSD throught a light. Maybe back through the amp meter? I don't know. I need to get the wiring schematic out and see if that seems possible. Someone up above mentioned that when they shut their motor down, the fans turn into a generator and back feed the MSD. That makes sense but I think that will only cause a problem for cars that feed the fan off the accessory or ignition side of the ignition switch. On our ERAs the fans aren't switched but are fed directly off the battery.

Chris
