I am not out of options in my troubleshooting options for this problem, but as I am not able to work on the car today, I thought I might throw this out to the community and see if you guys come up with something I might not have thought of....to start with, I already know I have a short somewhere in the fuse block area. Here's the problem. I wired in a new headlight switch for the dash. Everything worked with the exception of the dome light coming on when the passenger side door was opened. The other day I had the motor running just to circulate the oil and keep the new motor lubed up. On a whim I flipped on the headlights to make sure they were still working right. The dash lights did not come on. I think this is an issue with the aforementioned fuse block short. The thing that confused me was, when I turned the dimmer switch (I believe it was to the full off position) the two auto meter gauges I have currently hooked up, water temp and oil pressure, pegged. When I turned the dimmer back the other direction they went back to reading correctly. Any Ideas?
