Iron, blitz, GaryinOz, and others. Thanks much for your ideas and suggestions concerning my problem with the 1995 Sportage. Today, I removed the wiring harness from inside the passenger compartment and brought it out into the engine bay for a better inspection. After inspection, and all looks OK, I retaped the entire harness. I found a bundle of ground wires on a metal bracket that were bolted to the backside of the cylinder head. The attaching bolt was loose. Probably the problem from the start. I'll replace the harness tomorrow, and attach those ground wires to a better more accessible location. (Lock-tite for sure on the bolt!) Looks like the previous owner (or a repair facility) had done a bit of "rigging" in the engine bay. I'll let you know how it all turns out. Thanks , David
