@#$%^&* Stupid prior owners! I followed the ground to the instrument panel where it was cut so that it could be used as a hot wire for the wiper washer motor???? Dang nabit!

The best place to ground it was one of the screws holding the panel to the bottom door. Rather than cutting wires, I just spliced a wire into the existing black wire. Then shoved the new wire into the screw hole. When I homed the screw, it cut the insulation and made a perfect ground.

So now I am again legal for night driving :)

All I need now is a map light, someone removed the entire fixture leaving me with a spring and cardboard to push on a 12V bulb.

It is nice to have lights everywhere :)
