   The effect cannot be zero . . . but it's
   beyond my current understanding to assess
   its significance. Plan B is an empirical
   test.  Got all the stuff laying around here
   to do it . . . just no time at the moment
   and besides, my 'antenna range' temperatures
   are in the high 90's right now.

   I need to identify all the 'suspect' paints
   and get samples. Will test some 'aluminum'
   off-the-shelf paints too.

    Not true. My 87GMC alternator wire goes
    directly to battery(+) but it's only about
    18" long and hangs out in the air.

    The 98SAT battery(+) does have a fusible link at the
    starter solenoid.

    The 06KIA has an MANL style fuse right at
    the battery(+) terminal.

    In both cases, b-lead protection is at the
    BATTERY end of the b-lead.
