I would not even try to troubleshoot an electrical problem til it's all hooked up. Then you can use a volt meter and see if you are getting juice to the lights that don't work. If so, then it's a ground problem. If not, then work backwards and find out why juice isn't flowing.

thanks sixpak,good advice,quess i'm just looking for enjoyment along the way. i'll be working on it tonight so we'll see how far i get then. thanks again
