That has been my suspicion. Do you know if all lighting and accessory
grounds are home runs to the under-dash ground points or do they ground
elsewhere on the chassis?

I have been ignoring my electrical demons until this winter when I will pull
the dash and replace the blower motor. But, if there are other ground points
for these circuits, I need to start looking elsewhere.

cheers,
