Getting the Wheeling Fever
I had no tail lights, no parking lights, no dash lights, per earlier thread. Pulled the U haul wiring from the tail lights. Pulled the plug under the passenger seat. Kept blowing fuses. Chased the wiring up into the dash. I told my mechanich that the dash lights were out, too. He says sometimes the dimmer switch goes bad.

It was the dimmer switch for the dash lights. Un plugged it. Now have full lights but for the dash. A "jumper wire" will give me full on dash lights. Problem solved.

All the ones around here cost two bucks to get in, my stock Toyota digital clock cost me two bucks!!!! Don't forget to take the tools out of your boots before you try and put them on. I used to put tools in my tennis shoes when I was going on a MC trip and one time I did not get them all out and jammed a small screwdriver into my big toe, hurt like heck and it was on my shifting foot!!!!!
