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.
