Subject:Electrical weirdness

Pulled out into the rain this morning to find that my wipers didn't
work.  I thought I blew a fuse, but I was wrong.  All the fuses are fine,
but all the interior electircs that depend on the ignition switch (blower
fans, AC, wipers, but not the radio) and headlights are dead.

     Strangely, they all come back on if I hold the brights on with the
lever.

     My Bentley is loaned out at the moment so I can't pull up the
electirc diagarams on my 85.

     What the hell did I blow out?  Ignition switch?  A relay?

     Thanks,
