I finally decided to attach the ground wire of the battery (new repro size 27) and turn the start key one step to the right to see what was going on with the lights on my 69 bird, and the news are a mixed bag. The dome light does not work-bulb is okay- , no instrument lights, and the windshield wiper motor runs all the time. Other info, I have new engine and underwood wires, the horn is okay, the front and tail lights are okay. I think probably some connections maybe loose, and the windshield wiper switch is shot. This is only day 2 in this matter, and could use some suggestions. Thank you for now.
