After a lot of muddling around, I discovered the main connector to the control unit was loose and cut out on turns. I couldn't tighten it for some reason, can't remember why. What I do remember is the solution--I whittled a wedge out of a piece of cottonwood and tapped it in alongside the connector. Solved problem and that wedge was till in place a couple years later, when we sold the car.
