What I figured happened was that this resistance caused enough voltage loss to screw up the computer, or, the alternator was having to work overtime to compensate, and this caused even more electronic dirt to interfear with the apps signal to the computer, beyond what the filter could overcome. Either way, just cleaning the battery posts and ends didn't work. No lock up issues since performing this step. Not one.
I was hauling hay yesterday and it would jump in and out only a couple of time an hour. Today not once, and I touched nothing. Pretty weird.
