On a SPF you always have brake lights and headlights and fans when the car is not running. (With a few exceptions on selected chassis #'s on the brake lights - but that is another story) We'll follow the current path and find the fault. He will post his findings....
Blas - you are totally a knight is shining armor! Pulled the amp meter and worked the spade connections on and off the terminals a few times. Bingo! That puppy is now hot as a firecracker! I have some Caig Dexit at my shop.
I'll polish the terminals lightily with a dollar bill and put a light spray of the contact cleaner on the connections before I reassemble tomorrow. Success.
Thank you, sir!
