ok so yesterday like i was saying after i found the one hundred dollar
parking ticket i was going to go to the grocery store... i cranked up and
turned the head lights on... and just the parking lights came on... i pulled
the lever (for the head lights) to see if the brights would at least work...
and they came on ...but they wouldnt stay on... i thought maybe i need new
head lights... went and bought head lights same thing ... only come on when
i pull the lever for the brights and then when i let go of the lever they go
off.... NOW ...my windshield wipers and speedometer are not working OR my
blower (for the heater). so get this ... right after i put the new head
lights in... i was checking to see if they work and when they didnt i pulled
the lever for the brights and my windshield wipers and blower both came on!
but only while i was holding the brights lever HAHA
what do i look for?
 every thing in the dash looks connected...from what i can see....i live in
portland and i cant NOT have head lights or windshield wipers!!!

starting to get worried
