I have the plastic part from under the steering column removed and am looking for large connector type things just to the right of the fuse block. Would be helpful if I had a picture of it, but cannot find one just looking for parts online. From schematics it appears to have 10 connectors, three of which are the door jambs and dome lamp and I would think a fourth would be attached to the headlamp switch. Going back outside now to take a closer look to see if I can see where the wire that runs under the left door jamb comes out and connects up under there.

Good news is I think I found Joint Connector A. Bad news is, I can't figure out how to detach it from what appears to be a larger joint connector and the wires I need to test are on the back side of it.

According to DBBD1 in an earlier post, it's attached to the back of the fuse block.

Holy crap.

If you can, edit the post, and nuke that URL. I can't even get to the moderator controls to nuke it....

Thanks, HeyYou. That was a wiring chart from a 98 manual that I downloaded. After I posted it, I couldn't access it at all, and everything on page 3 of the thread continued off the right side of the screen. I was able to send posts from page 1 and 2, however.
glad you saw it and could fix it. I PM'd Randy to alert him.

Good job, mang!

Not that it was your doing -- vBulletin is junk. I could see the post just fine, and it was an improperly Base64 encoded image that must have got stored that way because repeated reloads kept delivering the same busted encoding. Let us not now consider the stunning brilliance of what must have happened to make a busted Base64 file be served in the first place...
