No start, battery dead
Left door open on hot day, new battery for winter planned
Charged at 10,amps
Replaced positive battery cable, cut old one at harness and starter, routed new one on parallel course
Replacement part from FCP does not have boss on terminal to connect harness loom, will put an M6 nut to compensate.
Replaced fan hardware with stainless 3/8 by 1.5binch hardware from Lowe’s for four fan screws and two upper radiators screws
Evan put a new radiator in in 2017-25.... yeah!

2020 maintenance records
Thought I had solved the electrical gremlin when I disconnected passenger door and normal function was restored. Two days later, problem reoccurred. I suspect the NPN power transistor inthe 2/76 has faulted to drain and will try a board level replacement.
Swapped snows April 1. Notice oil seep fro crank or cam area , to be evaluated.
Popped a fronT OXS heater failure code. Part 9125583 , will check wiring and stash
Replaced front OXS , cam intake oil seal , 164500
10 May. Removed dash, rebuilt mounts, fixed cracks, rebuilt foot panel mounts, wired in usb to top dash, usedJB weld clear quick set epoxy. Nice stuff, minimal out gassing.
15 July
Replaced exhaust cam seal, slight seep
29 August. Right front caliperhot. Evaluate for pin or piston seizure 166100
Caliper is Piston stuck. Replaced with used from parts stash
Bleeders now 10 mm on right side , pads 8 mm meat
These rebuilt calipers have silver cheese for metal pistons
