Good Morning guys!Well it turns out you are both right about a fuse in the switch.Over my morning coffee I read my shop and owners manual(again) and found small references about a 30 amp fusible link in the switch.No illustration though,so I don't know if I'd recognize it while looking at it.Anyway,if that fuse opened wouldn't that kill the entire switch and nothing would work?I have the switch out and the head and tail lights work.I was told to connect the dash light feed to the tail light contact and the bulbs do light with the switch on,however, I may also inadvertantly messed up the gounding of the bulb sockets becasue when I restored the dash instruments I painted the casings and may need to remove some paint around the socket holes to get a solid ground.As you can tell I'm not good at electrics when problems arise.I was amazed after rewiring that the truck started.LOL.
Oh,yeah,I'm headed to Radio Shack for the contact spray too.
