Lights, fan, wipers -- classic combo (also the rear defroster) because
those are the circuits served by the load reduction relay in position 8 (#2
in row closest to fuses -- #3 is empty) of the fuse/relay panel.  Look
there, grasshopper.  That relay is driven from the X terminal of the
ignition switch which also feeds the X terminal of the light switch --
double bk/y wire from light switch (2.5 to ign, 0.5 to panel).  The X
terminal is ON with ignition but OFF when cranking.
