[Amps] Good engineering...More Car Computer Horror Stories

[Dave White]

There's a large transmitting site near Saarbrucken which must at some point have cased car electrical problems, because there's a huge faraday cage over the autobahn next to the antennas.  I'm sure there must be photos around on the www

I was one of those that had issues with VOA in Mason Ohio.  My 89 Dodge Dakota would have an anti-lock brake failure while driving next to the transmitter site while they were transmitting.  It was not a one off problem but repeatable.  Dodge was no help other than offering to replace the anti-lock computer for $350.00!
