While at gas station 4 days ago, I reached in to release the hood to fill the tank. I grabbed the fuse panel and 3 fuses fell out. I was a block from home so I waiting until I got home to put them back in.

I didn't pay attention to what fuses they were. After putting them back in, I noticed the left side parking lights were on. The turn lever was in the neutral position. The right side works as it should. Turn signals and hazard flasher work as they should. I have a good schematic thanks to Jeff but I lack the ability to troubleshoot this #5 fuse circuit.

I don't necessarily need this "feature" and can just leave the fuse out, but it worked before and I would like to have it back to normal. I reenacted my motions, dropped the fuse panel and inspected it closely for short or grounds, dropped and changed the headlight switch and hazard switch. After 3 days I've gone as far as I can without some help.

Looking for help from those who may of had a problem with this circuit. It's getting 12V from somewhere. It's a 75..

Thanks. Bill

Back to troubleshooting after 2 days of other obligations. As to the "extra" wire, I don't think that needs to be addressed now. It probably will come to play when I hook up the head lights, which I've been putting off. It was fine as is before so I don't see how this could be the problem. After working for years, I doubt that this wire decided that all of a sudden it wasn't, unless something else failed. I think the headlight switch is the fault.

I get continuity between 30 and 30b when switch is off and 30b is what this wire terminates on, with the other end on the hot side of fuse 5. 30 is the constant 12V. I guess my spare headlight switch could have the same short.

It would be great if someone with a spare good switch could check for continuity between 30 and 30b when the switch is off, just to be sure. Looking at the diagram, there is a thin line between 30 and 30b. Does this mean they are connected and there should be continuity? Your help is much appreciated. Bill
