Eric and List: My 90 GL fried the whole left rear plastic panel and some headliner during PO's watch. I don't need AC that bad, but yes, it was an electrical fire. If someone has a spare driver's side rear panel and the wiring loom, etc, I'd be inteested in fixzingt it and begin to return the vehicle to stock condition but not for a whole lot of bucks.
