Each day a little closer and a new problem.
I was driving the car last evening and had dash lights and gauges working. I decided to turn on the head lights and off went the dash lights. Head lights off, dash lights return. All fuses intact. I suspect, somewhere in the head lignt switch or the head lights there is a short which takes current away. Any thoughts? Thanks, Larry |

Sometimes the reostat for dashlight brightness will goof up and cause such a
situation, use some tunerbath (you can get it at radioshack) and spray down into the guide for the shaft. Might be easer if you drop the headlight switch first. |
