My big winter project--dash rebuild was going great. Been very careful with the wiring over the last couple months.
I had everything in place, but once I got the switches back in, my driving lights are not coming on. The dash switch lights up. Headlights are operational. I quickly checked for any loose connections, but didn't see anything. I have checked all the fuses (I have the updated blade fuse panel). Any places to start? sooooooo close.... |

First thing, check to see if you've got voltage at the lights, If you can't pull a connector apart, just stick a pin into the insulation to contact the wire within using a multi-meter.
If nothing there go back to fuze panel. |
