Hmmm...right where that group of cut wires is. Looks like I will need to find one. Are they expensive? I supposed I should actually check out the rest of the system first. Or maybe I'm getting way ahead of myself and should drive it first!

Went out tonight to do my almost daily test of "which lights still work and which don't". Pulled the headlight switch and tail lights still work. That's good. No headlights still. Stomped on my "restored" dimmer switch and viola! Headlights! Another stomp and boom, high beam works! Guess my switch gathered some internal corrosion from sitting around. More stomping and lights still work.

The high beam indicator/turn signal indicator is still not lighting on the dash. I do not see the flickering anymore so my theory about the bulb being put in the wrong hole seems to be wrong.

Of course, the BAT light decided to remain on while the car was running. I was pretty sure the generator was rebuilt because it has a sticker on it from an electrical company.

I'm having fun though!
