Now that I have a new tech "hi-speed' toy, lets get it on while a take a short break.
Jim- Absolutely sorry to take so long.....13 1/4"s on the diagonal!

TEST:
Lets find out good you are?

I in all candor place myself in a three & 1/2 stars out of four building cobras and street rods but this particular gremlin took me down more than a couple of steps!

Problem: All wiring was tested being built and came out OK!
However after total assembly if you turned the headlights on you got low beams OK, BUT the minute you switched to hi-beams the breaker would pop!

What I did-over three long days!
Tracked and traced every wire in the headlight circuit
Then tracked and traced all the lights-even the parking lights
Replaced the headlight switch
replaced the foot operated hi-low switch
Replaced the steering column connector
Checked every ground and every wire to see if it was grounded........
Checked all of Flaming Rivers column wiring.

NONE of this brought me any closer to an answer! cpteddie understandably was a nervous wreck!

OK, you know what I did without finding the answer-what did I miss-what was the answer-it was soooo obvious-when I did find it.

If you get it first time Four starts to you
1 to 2 thoughts Thee stars
3 to five guess's two stars
More than 5 guesses you get to work for me!
