I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

David,
Glad to see you now know what the problem with fuse #8 is. Reading thru the last thread makes me come to a possible conclusion that your original wiper switch may not be bad after all. Your wiper motor could have been the culprit all along. I don't know if a 924 switch will work properly or not. Maybe someone will let you know. Is there someone local that you could have test their wiper motor for readings? I don't like the ones you posted for the spare. I will look at mine tomorrow to see if I can get some readings, however mine is a 76. I will take a look at your other threads and see if something jumps out at me. By the way, I am red/green color blind, so we are the blind leading the blind. LOL!! I have my wife tell me what color the wires are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Later, Tom |

Might as well hook it to the cars harness and see what happens, right? |
