Probe went on insurance today so I filled up with E0 and drove it to my friend's house to get the wiring figured out. He basically rewired the entire trailer light setup while I did some illustration on the new sub box for his Rabbit.

He also looked at the broken left turn signal and is 99% sure it's the blinker module (aka turn signal flasher), a smallish, seven prong green relay type thing. I stopped at O'Reilly's and AutoZone but neither could find it in their systems. NAPA was closed so I'll try there tomorrow. Pray to dog I don't have to buy it from the dealer.

Anyway, first driving impressions. This thing coasts FOREVER!! I will pop it into neutral at the top of a moderate hill at 60mph and at the bottom of the hill it will be at like 58mph. It actually almost coasts too well. The deceleration is so gradual that people behind me get anxious.

70 miles into the tank and it hasn't dropped below "Full".

I'm going to finish painting the tail tomorrow and take some nice pictures.
