Instructors frequently are looking for "project vehicles" as student training tools. Most of the students enrolled in such programs have done so as a path to professional automotive repair, and learn under the tuteledge of an instructor who is an older, well-experienced "auto techie" (Art Welling blogged about his adventures in that field). I'd think a "brain buster," which describes most electrical problems, would be welcomed as a challenge. <br /><br />Your cost will be time, and parts; what a professional mechanic might have troubleshot in hours, or a day, might take the students a week or more, but patience might change a dead end into a thoroughfare, and provide a learning opportunity for students.
