Hey, big thanks to all who helped with the electrical problem. My son and
I worked on it today and solved most of the puzzle. The fog lights that
were wired directly to the battery, I tapped the relay and reconnected
the wires and they came on. The head light switch had been changed out
some time ago and the connections need to be cleaned and reconnected and
the relay (gray, above the fuse panel) was making a lot of clicking
noise, so I tapped it and reinserted it and got the head lights working.
Now all that remains to fix is the temp and fuel gages. I pulled the
instrument pod off and checked the ribbon connector, but couldn't find
anything wrong, so the gages still don't work. Any more ideas there?

Thanks again to Joel, Marshall, Ken and Tom for your input.
