Subject:      Running Lights Dark
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

I've got a pretty clean '91 GL Camper with a Subaru conversion and on the
way home from a camping trip outside of Shasta last year, I noticed what
seemed to be the headlights getting slightly dimmer. When I got home, I
walked around the car and noticed that my running lights were out. It was
very late and I had work in the morning, so I put it off for another day.

That day has finally come, so I've started trouble-shooting. Here is the
current status of the patient:

- Headlights work.
- Running lights do not at either switch setting.
- Dashboard lights also do not work.
- The car stereo works.
- Both fuses 7 & 8 are fine.
- Dashboard powered from aux battery (currently at 2.9V!).

Aside from the low battery, I'm suspecting this is an issue with the
headlight switch. Any diagnostics I can do with a voltmeter, as I
understand those M-pin switches are hard to come by and don't want to spend
a pile on something I don't need.


Thanks mucho,
MB
