Chris;

 

The first bad news is that I replaced my romote oil filter mount and installed a new filter.  As I have mentioned here I have had it leaking at the rubber filter seal.  The old one looked ok, but since replacing the filters no less than three times and knowing that the eye cannot see all inperfections, I replaced the mount AND filter (K&N 2004 filter).  But, NO JOY. It is still leaking where the filter mounts.  It IS seeping from the filter seal and NOT the two hose connections...no doubt on this

I can only think of two possibilities.  Either the oil is coming from somewhere else; or the filter is not properly tightened.  Did you lube the seal surface on the filter before tightening? Consider other possible sources for the oil.

 

On the electrical issue – remote diagnosis seems impossible.
