I wanted to report back on the latest on my engine panel. I was able to get the connector in the engine compartment apart today. Two of the pins were particularly black and all looked corroded. I cleaned them all and put it back together and remarkably, the engine started with both buttons held down. So that high resistance junction seems to have been the source of the problem. It is such a rewarding feeling when all the work pays off and a problem is solved. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions!
Now- what to do about the future- I am considering putting some electrically conductive grease on the contacts before reassembling the connector. I may still butt connect all the wires this winter, but the grease seems like a good option to retain good contact. Dave Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT
