Not when you're blowing fuses. If it was a ground the thing just wouldn't
work but it wouldn't blow a fuse. Gotta be a short somewhere, probably in
the APC stuff.

I'm not that big on electrical stuff, but wouldn't a bad ground cause
something like that? Ron has mentioned one specifically that seems to cause
a lot of problems in Dakotas. That might be something to look out.
