Ozzie,

What number is your car? I have 499 and had the engine rebuilt last summer. Soon after I got the car back I fried the jumper wire from the fan relay to the starter relay when attempting to start the car. I ended up rewiring the fuse/relay box power wires and installed a Bus Bar to eliminate the problem. When repairing the wiring I discovered just how funky the wiring was. Backdraft jumpers (or did on my car) ALL of the power wires on the relays and used in my opinion under-sized wiring. The grounds were also daisy chained. I cleaned up all of the wiring (went back to my aircraft days) and wired it up properly - No more problems. It definitely sounds like you have a bad ground, or possibly the same issues I had in the wiring at the fuse/relay block. Good Luck!
