might be a fusable link that went bad. try and trace the wiring harness until you find it. also the ground wire may have rusted threw and snapped off, causing the circuit not to complete itself

Thanks to both of you. Tracing a fusable link or a ground is no fun and difficult.[:@] I also checked the fuses - but I missed it. After checking the fuse box a second time I found #45 (I believe) and it was blown - replaced it and all is fine. So far.

Again, thanks for your help.

Not a problem, I feel your pain on that one. []
