OK, I looked underneath the dash last night. 1966 Squareback. More accurately: When I pull the switch to parking lights, they come on. Dash light dimmer works, etc. When I pull the switch to headlights, parking lights go out, headlights don't come on. In this position, I can make the brights work(!) not sure if the parking lights come on at this point. So it's the switch, right? $30 from WCM. Wife says she felt water coming in (we've had feet of rain ... floodin' down in texas... ) and it was drops around her shin. I'm extremely concerned about this, but I've so far failed to find the source. The vents are taped completely over. Windshield seal looks good, and the trunk seal is weathered, but not bad where it meets the windshield. So I suspect the hole where the wiper arm comes through. I shudder to think what could be the matter if incoming H2O is starting to cause electrical failures on this precious car! (Not to mention RUST, but I'm trying to take care of it!!!) -- g-r-a-t-e-f-u-l-l-y---[ email:<fishbowl@conservatory.com> ]---l-i-v-i-n-g d-e-a-d-i-c-a-t-e-d---[ http://www.conservatory.com/~fishbowl ]-----l-i-g-h-t I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so. -- John Donne
