List list is awsome, thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions regarding a headlight problem, it turned out to be a bad ground, got my headlight relays and new brighter bulbs installed, took our first overnight trip last weekend and the headlights rocked! I also sorted out a dash light problem so now on to the next gremlin: I've mentioned it before regarding my left turn signal, it blinks fast, right normal, the left bulb has both filaments burning (turn and indicator) when lights are on. So far I've changed out all of the turn signal bulbs, one badly corroded socket (right side), all of the headlight bulbs, headlight switch, and recently turn signal switch with no change in the fast blink or double filament burn. I also dropped the fuse panel and cleaned every ground on the two star grounds, cleaned behind them to bare metal, and replaced any connectors that were corroded, still no change (although this fixed my previous headlight problem!). Looking for any other suggestions as to what to look for next, thanks.
