Anyone know how to get rid of a Garage Gremlin?

Yesterday....our Commodore had some electrical hassles, and after a visit to the dealer and some fiddling with stuff, I fixed the problem (relay and fuse) tonight. I check the lights on the cars often so notice when I lose lights.

Straight after I fixed the Commodore I took one of my daughters out in the bug. While I was out......yep, did a fuse and lost parkers on one side. When we came home I replaced the fuse.

As soon as I replaced the fuse.......the light in the garage (sensor light) went out and I can't get it to turn on again (gonna fiddle with it later).

Anyone had any occurances similar?

A good old fashioned exorcist should do the trick...

Drink a 6 pack and run around the garage shouting at the walls. Works for me!

Use a bigger hammer!

Just had a mouse take out the oven in the Kitchen, fried itself , the timer and the temperature selector. The electrician had a lot of fun trying to get the mouse out which disintegrated when you touched it.......Fried Mouse anyone?

Mix equal parts lemon juice with water into a spary bottle and spray it around the garage chanting ..... "you will not defete me" ......

This remedy may also help you to have a holiday in a nice warm padded cell

The trick is to catch the gremlin. You need a device to attract gremlins away from your normal sources. A sacrifice so to speak.

Get yourself a hairdryer, hair crimper, or another non-value non-automotive electrical device. Plug this in and hover it above a bucket of water. The gremlins will not be able to keep away from it as you drop it in the bucket. Once your sacrifice to the great gremlin god is made, your problems should be over.
