I crawled under the dash to take pics...got a few of the fuse box and as good a photo of the headlight switch as I can get with all the wires in the way. I'm trying to bring this new Photobucket program to it's knees now...wish I could just get the photos uploaded like I use to.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, though, guys.

Has anyone ever seen a headlight switch with a built in fuse?

As I moved the wires around to get a better view of the headlight switch, I saw what looks like a glass-bodied fuse hanging on the block that is the headlight switch...the kind that looks like a tube with a wire filament inside. Well, I can't see the wire filament, but I can see what looks like a milky colored residue on the "bottom" of the fuse...could easily be melted filament.

The headlight switch also has 4 electrical connections.

Could it be that the headlight switch has a built in relay with a built in fuse?

I'll keep trying to get the photos posted...but Photobucket can put this new program where the sun don't shine!!!!

Cheers!

Dugly
