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.
