Default Cleveland, Ohio guys

Does anyone know of a good shop that will work on Corvette electrical problems? I am about to kick this thing down the driveway...... Preferably on the west, or southwest as I live in Olmsted Falls. I know of a shop in Russell that is pretty good but it is a long haul from here.

Refer to my previous post "Fusible Links" http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=648156

Thanks in advance.....

Yeah, I was hoping he would, as he is Rocky River I think.....

See my post "Fusible Links" I'm good at following wiring diagrams and tracing stuff down, but this has got me up against the wall, I just can't find where the short is located..

Thanks anyway, but the car is completely dead, up on ramps, and in the garage. It's not going anywhere unless I get it towed. Planning on taking one more crack at it today as soon as I mow the grass....

I've had good luck tracing shorts by placing an ohm meter on the fusebox and testing each circuit

George - Thanks for the number, I'll call him this afternoon and see what's what.

Take a look at my post FUSIBLE LINKS and you'll see that I had to replace the link at the back of the fuse junction box. Had to remove a lot of stuff to get in there for one little wire. That will be going in soon, but of course that is not the problem, only the result of the problem so I was pulling all the fuses to isolate the circuits yesterday - no luck so far. Guess I'll put the link in and try activating the circuits one-by-one and see if it melts again.
