Let me guess - kill switch was disabled by a short? I remember something about a fuse issue there, following last year's GGP.

I only wish I could find the time and nerve to do belly pan work under my Insight now. It will just have to wait for warmer weather. I'm a couple years older than you.

Funny thing about the Insights. They're billed has having underbody aero panels. But it's not much of an improvement over what came stock on my Civic and Accord - AND, all the panels forward of the firewall are about as structurally sound as a house of cards. Winter snow and also lazy shop techs are responsible for the loss of many fasteners on these. I had to replace quite a few after I bought mine. That was late February; I think the weather was warmer then than now!
