Anybody know about the LEDs on MS3, Franks writeup doesn't say anything about them. Do I need anything else or just the leds. It looks like Q6, Q7, and Q8 share traces with them.

Anyone know where I can get an extra DB37 plug?

Well its 130 in the morning and I should have gone to bed half an hour ago. I plugged it in and tried to get it up and running and nothing.

Smoke everywhere and the wire burnt up. Its too late and it pissed me off so I am going to bed. Any ideas why this happened? The engine continued running while this happened. I have they flyback diodes wired in there.

It seems to be the 12v power wire that burnt up.

Got it running again. Sounds like

Something is up. Last time I had it running it didn't sound like that.

Success!!!!!!! It is running and driving. Thanks everyone who helped. I'm sure I will have more questions but for now check it out:
