THANKS JORREL. I am doing some investigating and I think it was simpler than I feared:

fuse is blown. replaced it and the switch engages, light comes on. no reason to think that it won't run now, although no test drive has been done yet.

The blue wires may have shorted when i closed the parking brake (i noticed something wierd happen last night when i did just that) and overloaded the fuse. so i am gonna tape them up real good now.

if that wasn't the case then i guess the wires on the tranny iself shorted out (the 5th gear relay). Reverse lights come on fine. Or perhaps it was the 4th gear switch which shorted? if she goes into 5th then you won't be hearing from me again today.

Beware the chipmunks!
