Re: Body Harness Connector

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Year, those things are a pain in the butt. You'll end up pulling kick  
panels etc off to find it.

Dome lights are wired with one end of the bulb tied to battery, and  
the other is that wire that goes tot he door switch; ground any  
switch light goes on.

Chances are a bullet connector got tugged loose somewhere under the  
dash or carpeting.

One of those old-car things :-)
