Question Ok, I'm not sure where to start on Fog light problem.....

The last non-working things on my '79 are the Fog lights and turn Signals. All the other light things work fine. The car runs GREAT! I can't wait to get her on the road.

Whether I turn on the headlights or not, the Fog light switch causes a BIG power drain and the trip odometer resets itself. No power to the lights. The relay seems fine, but dosen't trip when the switch is thrown. The turn signals just don't work.

I've crawled all over the car and cleaned up every ground, cleaned up the fusebox, replaced all the fuses and tried to verify all the connections are correct.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Sounds as if a wire is misplaced between the fog light switch and the odo reset.

Could be a fifteen minute job with the manuals, and almost impossible without them ...

I was hoping it wasn't that....

Good thing I have the manuals. The bad news is I'm color blind.

I guess I'm gonna get my color blonde wife to do the wire ID thing.

Thanks for the advice, I'll go try straighten out the wiring in the Pod.

Hehehe!

Yeah, my wife hates to help with the car stuff.

She thinks a husband is a household appliance you screw on the bed to keep your car running smoothly.
