Subject: Console Switches - they don't like me

Date: Sat, 2 Aug 1997 04:52:06 +0000



This evening I washed and waxed my P, planning to go for a little Friday

evening cruise, then replaced the power window switches. They were working

fine until someone on the 'net asked about them a month ago or so, someone

answered that they nearly always fail eventually, and I smugly thought

"Well, I still have original window switches and they work just fine". They

did until that thought passed through my head, then one got flaky. So I

ordered a pair of Bosch replacement switches from Hall, and now my windows

work. 



But after changing my switches, now my headlights don't come on. I get

parking lights, but the headlights don't come up, and they don't light up. I

see no fluctuation on the ampmeter, so it isnt even trying. I only have 2

wires going to the back of my headlight switch, both a sort of pinkish

color. Does this sound right? I also disconnected all the wires from the

"courtesy" switch. Is there any tie-in between the two switches?
