I guess the only reason I'm telling anyone what's not working for me is so it's not repeated by future readers.
These are interesting efforts. Thanks. I'll be very interested to see what you get in the end. One idea was to put a lightbulb on the line to drain residual voltage.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
