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,
Are those wires properly terminated to keep them from shorting together or to ground? Tom |

David, Are those wires properly terminated to keep them from shorting together or to ground? Tom Yep they are :-) I'll be switching back to my stock wiper switch in the morning and I'kk hook my spare and known to be good wiper motor into the harness for a test. Hopefully we'll get love and that will isolate the remander of the problem to the the 924 switch mod. I'm also looking forward to a very carefull examination of both the switches. |
