Wow, thanks to everyone who replied to my previous posting. I found I
should have been more complete with my question:
1. Replaced the switch already
2. Touch the wire from the fuse box (which has power) to the wire from the
lights (which, as far as I can tell, is
unbroken) and the fuse pops
3. The parking lights work, and they share the same earth, so I'm
fairly confident that's not it (although I am not an electrician and
will work under correction)
4. I have sandpapered the contact points and see clean brass
I can add that when I replaced the switch once already (with a cheap
plastic one) the switch got so hot it melted the plastic and almost
fried the wires (replaced them).
Other than that, I'm still stumped. I'll keep working on it and let you all
know. The amazing
thing is, they DID work at one point, and
I haven't changed anything (welcome to the wonderful world of LBCs, I guess!).
