A HUGE shout out to XJ_DAD aka Steve for ALOT of help today fixing wiring issues the PO left me with.
It started here:
There was a ton of half-azz rigged stuff, burnt fuses, patched wiring, wire nuts dealing with the radio and a host of other potentially dangerous issues but after 3 hours at least that part of Vit Skrat is fixed.
Lighter works now instead of being power source for radio and HVAC panel, radio works all onits own and the HVAC is actually able to shut off when the ignition is turned off. I didn't smell any elctrical burning at all on the way home either.
The two threads show how messed up it all was and here is what we removed.

Phil, glad we got that big bowl of FUBAR sorted. I admit I was ready to run when I got a look at what was doin' behind your radio and in that fuse box but it turned out to be so horribly done that it was easy to undo. I bet your kids will enjoy cruising in the XJ more now that they can charge their electronics in the lighter socket while listening to the radio.

Mounting up Erin's old lightbar that Dana has that Tim didn't want. Got to figure some sort of gutter mount other than screws.

Thanks a bunch, man. That's my good news for today.
Yeah, probably.
I'll take good care of her. It isn't funny when I break other peoples' stuff...just when mine breaks at inconvenient times.
