Ok, we had a great weekend with two couples from the List...camp-out and
some four-wheeling on Sunday, now it's time to head to the Casa. The sun
is going down, flip on the head lights...nothing! This has happened
before, just rock the switch a little and they will come on...still
nothing! Pull over and pop off the top of the instrument panel, pull the
switch and fiddle with it (I have to make the wife think I know what I'm
doing). Still nothing. Pull the dim/bright/flasher lever on the steering
column to the on position and all headlights come on. OK, it's not a
fuse...but, I've got to drive home over the crookedist road in America,
it's gonna be tuff to hold the lever back and negotiate this road
(highway 78 from Banner to Julian, Ca.). Wife suggest we turn on the fog
lights. Adjust fog light real low so as not to blind anyone and off we
go. Monday morning I'm up early and take the switch out of the Carat and
put it in the Syncro...still no headlights! Jo Ann takes the Syncro to
work, It's day time, so don't need lights. I tow the Carat to the shop
for a new tranny, pick up a rental and take it to Jo Ann so she won't
have to struggle coming home tonite, I take the Syncro. It's raining,
turn on the wipers...nothing!! Pull the dim/bright/flasher lever to the
on position....nothing. Turn the headlight switch to full on, pull the
d/b/f lever to on position and the wipers work!!!  I go to work, off at
11:00 pm, it's cold and damp, the windshield fogs up, turn on the heater
fans to defrost the windshield...nothing!  Pull the d/b/f lever to the on
position...heater fan come on. Sorry, I cannot make heads or tails from
the Bentley how this thing is wired, but I believe there is a relay or
something that brings all these things together, it's bad, how do I find
it and replace it? Anybody got an answer? Suggestion?
