Sad 1995 Concorde News
I've kept my Concorde for winter bad weather use, saving my lovely 300M
from some abuse. The Concorde is sitting beside my garage, beside a wooded ravine. I run it up and keep the battery charged regularly. About a month ago it started missing on one or two cylinders. It was my intention to put the Concorde in my garage and look into this problem. I was concerned it may be very difficult determining what causes the miss. Well now I'm not so concerned about the task of finding the miss cause, I know what it is, it's too obvious. A few days ago I tried starting it and no go, didn't even turn over. It seemed to be eating the battery power with a clunk when I turned the key. Looking under the hood, I was shocked at what I saw. About 8 small exposed wires at the terminal block on the right side of the firewall, had been chewed through, a few totally gone. Dam it, how do I discourage some dumb rodent from lunching on my Concorde's wiring? |

Quit parking it in the woods? After all, that is where all the little chewy critters live. |

I bought one (for my garage) for about $20 by Black and Decker. Or do it the simple way of applying some anti-rodent goop on the wires? -- Rahul |
