You're missing a ground connection somewhere. Look above and to the left
of the fuse box.

Subject: headlights not working on an 84 ... funky voodoo

I have an 84 westy with some electrical voodoo going on.
Perhaps someone has seen these symptoms or knows what I did?  This is a
test.

Here's some background:

Yesterday, headlights worked fine.

Today I replaced the speedo cable (took off the instrument cluster)
and replaced the speaker wire in the drivers side door.

When I put it everything together the O2 light is stays on whenever
the key is on....I assume I need to check the click counter thing the
speedo cable plugs into near the spare tire...no biggee.

However, I have no headlights.  If I turn on the headlight switch,
the running lights come on and the high beam indicator is always on,
even when I pull in the turn signal high beam switch.

The headlights never work, even if I pull in the high beam switch and
the light switch is off.

Again, whenever the headlight switch is on, the blue high beam
indicator is on but no headlights.

Lastly, the turn signals appear to work, but I hear the fast click
like you do with a burnt out bulb.

Any ideas on what I did or didn't do or knocked loose? (I'm pretty
sure I caused the problem)
