    Lincoln SIP relay

    Does anyone have info regarding the (SIP) relay, to turn on the Low Fuel light? If I don't get anything here, I will re-invent the wheel and make one in solid state.

    What picture editing software to use to shrink phone pictures for posting.

    Two free picture resizers come to mind: PIXresizer and Adionsoft Fast Image Resizer I recommend these to our members at Squarebirds.org because they do not alter your original pictures and we require pictures to be no more than 800 pixels wide.

    Wixom Tag

    mlschultz pretty much got it right. Brass tags are never used on Ford products. They identify assets for inventory and tax purposes. Notice that these tags are heavy duty, they don't have high numbers and they are not meant to be removed, ever. They are normally not screwed in place but...

    Battery drain

    I just want to throw my two cents in; hi, I'm Dave Dare from Squarebirds.org. I have an electrical background from Ford in Dearborn. I'm following this post and am proud that you are sticking with and seeing your problem through. In my humble opinion, Ford spent as little money on wire sizes...
