tccrab · 05-22-2019

Since I did the "Dreaded No Start" relay mod, I've never had a no-start.
It's been a good 10 or 12 years since I did it.
No regrets.

As Paul Harvey (God rest his soul) said, now it's time "For the Rest Of the Story".
I didn't invent the DNS Mod (Dreaded No Start). I did popularize it, but the inspiration was not mine.

After too many DNS events to count I went looking. The absolute worst DNS event was at the parking lot of a local BlockBuster Video store, which was about 10 blocks from my home, on a 115 degree day. I walked home.

I had found mention of installing a relay in an obscure forum somewhere, but no details about what it was, where it was, or how they did it, and I was unable to find anyone who would educate me.
So I dug out the wiring schematics and re-invented the wheel.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention.
It's taken a life of it's own, and I'm proud and humbled to have had a small little part of it.
