I had no power from mine a couple years ago and it was the socket itself. I had power to it and everything. Just a thought. Before that I never knew it could go bad haha.

1. possibly paint engine bay (but probably not)
2. possibly install ducting for the VMIC
3. hopefully new coil setup and reinstall cruise control
4. possibly construct custom gauge pod setup/change gauges
5. get the front fenders modified to match the rear fenders
6. ss braided lines and reroute for water injection
7. possibly move battery again this time to storage bin behind passenger seat
8. help roommates get their FDs running/finished so they can go too

I just finished a bunch of projects so I want to drive it again and I don't want to take any chances on it not being ready by April. I haven't been to DGRR since '06 and I'm dying to go again.

It works eventually if I mess with whatever I plug in enough. Not sure what all is up with that but I'll test it out.

It's almost like it just has corrosion in there or something.

9. I also forgot I want to get some strut bar spacers made so I can get rid of the washers.

I had the same problem on mine while on the epic road adventure. It wasn't un-plugged, it was just plain worn out. Sucked, on day 2 I was in the parking lot of a wal-mart tearing the dash apart so I could wire in a external plug to charge my phone. I guess I should mount and more permanently wire that thing, zip tie mounting isn't really my thing

That'd be bitching. But you should be able to make that yourself no? Plate of AL, a sharpie, jigsaw, drill and a file and maybe an hr of time?
