I get a bit touchy about that one. 5 years ago, my girlfriend got hit head on by a tri-axle dump truck on her way to work. He was in her lane because he was going way too fast on a wet road and didn't make the curve.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
