After tracing wires, cleaning contacts, testing switches, etc. I finally got
all my lights, turn signals, dash lights, and the high/low beams to work the
way they were supposed to (not sure what I did right).
I called my wife out to show her my handiwork and puff out my chest at
overcoming the electrical gremlins in her car. Big mistake.
When I put the light switch back in the dash new gremlins arrived. I should
have just left it hanging. Now when I pull the switch out one notch I get
nothing - no marker lights, no parking lights, no tail lights. The
headlights come on (low beam) when I go to the second notch but no tail
lights and no High beams. Turn signals work just fine.
I have come to the conclusion that there is a loose connection/short in the
wiring bundle under the dash. That is the only thing I touched after
everything started working again. Tomorrow I will pull the seat and dig into
that mass of spaghetti.
Any helpful hints from any unfortunate soul who has delved into the dash
wiring?
