Since it's dark outside, and I left my flashlight at home, that would be better than a manual reset. How's that sound?  |
Sounds like you should quit smoking cigars
Only kidding, I always have a cigar going while cruising around.
Seriously, why don't you try it and see if it actually proves out your theory. I suppose in that situation it would be a personal choice thing. I am thinking more of what I want the CB to do, shut down to protect. I just don't want it to be constantly trying to reset itself before I have a chance to fix what caused it to trip in the first place. My big concern is to avoid damage!
