Default A good l'fashioned auto electrician

Can any one recommend a good auto electrician in the Colorado Springs area?
I tried the local Jaguar club and found no success.

maybe posting in the regional section covering that location, might get more hits than the general XJ6 section?

What problem are you trying to fix? And what kind of car?

Cheers

Do they exist anymore? School chum, Roy had a summer job at one.
Oakes Auto Electric. Just behind Western Auto on Texas Street in El Paso.
But, by far their work was in starters and generators. Pre alternator days.
Roy replace the cumbersome Model A Ford generator with one designed for a Ford 8N or so tractor. Fit just right, no fabbing needed. More Amps.

that one is easy, the most likely culprit is one of the door jamb switches stuck open or closed. Spray WD40 at each switch plunger push it in and out 10 times each, see if that helps.
