Thanks for your advice. I hadn't thought of checking the rear ashtray lighters or any of the other lighters since we're a family of non-smokers. Better yet, I will review the headlight switch instructions contained in (the PI version) of the on-line owner's manual for 1956, to see if I'm doing things right.

But all of this will have to wait for the Arctic Vortex to go away. Last night Atlanta had its lowest temperatures in almost a century and two degrees short of an all time low. In a cold garage, it may be best to leave sleeping Packards to their sleep. By the weekend we may be back with weather approaching the seventies (F) and then being upside down, under the dash, will be more tolerable for an old guy.

You've given me some helpful advice and at least two places to start. Seeing the pictures of others re-crafting their own wiring harnesses is a source of amazement and admiration. Thank you.
