Does anyone have information on how to troubleshoot and repair the parking and dashboard light circuit(s)? My fuses,bulbs,and headlight switch are all in good condition.

Just prior to the problem I replaced the parking light fuse. It had fused to the box. Maybe a dead short.

Changing the fuse did not restore the parking or dashboard lights.

Before I remove the fuse box and check the wiring behind it, are there any other places in the circuit I should be checking first?

Thanks.

Thumpher30,
I have the same problem. I purchased and installed the new headlight switch. The 10 amp fuse still blows when I pull the headlight switch to the first notch (turning on the runnign lights and dashboard lights). I have disconnected the taillights...fuse blows. I have disconnected the headlights....fuse blows. I have removed the blue relay...fuse blows. I have disconnected the 2 large plug-in connections to the back of the dash board....fuse blows. My chilton's manual doesn't show the schematic for that circuit. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
