    And now after wiggling some wires around the fuse box I can't get it to act up now......

    great. So are intermittent fuse box connections something we have to look forward to @400,000 Kms?

    I think I found the problem. Another connector with a tiny ass trace of corrosion on one wire. I fired the engine up and started unplugging all the connectors around where I was wiggling til the car died. Had to look pretty close but I'm pretty sure this is the problem. For some reason the connector was wet. Not sure if or how water get in there?

    I'll post a pic in a bit. Damn these cars are finicky when it comes to wiring.

    Intermittent Wiring issues have always been my worst nightmare be it autos, sailboats, aircraft, motorcycles, you name it. I really hope neither of my Mirages go down because of wiring.

    Yeah stupid wiring. Now I'm not entirely sure it's just the one brown wire, I cut it and the car stays running. I bypassed the connector for the one wire and sprayed the rest of the connectors with cleaner and lathered on some petroleum jelly cause I don't have dielectric grease right now and I'm in a hurry. There was some water drops in a few connectors just above the fuse box. But couldn't find any traces of water coming in. That'll be great if water is getting in the car right where all the computers are.

    It is possible the driver had wet shoes and was going doing some weird things down there splashing around? So, I'm not entirely confident this one won't be coming back with the same problem.

    I can barely see any corrosion, you got eyes like f@cking eagle brother!

    Was a crapy pic, it was a bit green between the brown wire on the corner and the white wire next to it. I'm not positive that was the problem but I know it is something around the fuse box under the dash. It's back on the road for now. It sure feels like Monday...
