I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop in Denver to take a look at my Bronco's electrical problem. I have fumbled around with it trying to figure out what is wrong and I think I need some reinforcements. I have a EFI set up. She will start but will not turn off if I switch the key to the off position. I have to unplug I diod to kill the engine and so my battery will not die. Plus when it is on, I smell electrical so I have been scared to start it, much less drive it! If anyone knows of a guy that could help that would be awesome!

Re: Need help with Electrical Problem Local Shop Central Den
Hey, brother. Sorry to see no suggestions for a good shop up there. Hopefully when this hunting season fever dies down you'll get some good input. Having not yet ventured down the EFI road myself, I'm hardly qualified to chime in.

I know nothing about this place other than having driven past it a bunch of times. Might be worth talking to them, as it looks like all they do is electrical.

if you want I would be willing to take a look. I just finished a EFI install on my bronco and live in wash park. PM me if your interested I work from home and I'm done traveling for a few weeks so have some time. If anything maybe we can get close to diagnosing it so it can be brought to a specialist or even fix it right there.

I had them do some work on a car of mine many years ago (1996ish). I don't even recall the issue. Wait, it was no dash lights. Anyway, they fixed the problem and the bill was reasonable, even to a poor HS student at the time. But that was a long time ago! You might call them and ask.
