I was able now to get the lights to come on.

I took the dash apart and started fiddling with things.

It may even be that the inside of the switch is partly corroded and just rocking it enough times wore it enough to make the connection again.

Both headlights came on. The rear side marker doesn't light, nor does the front yellow marker light. Might be the bulb or the wiring, not sure which.

Car looks much cooler with working lights on it - especially the dashboard lights coming on!


Notice the passenger side front marker light isn't working



I popped out the driver side rear light and replaced it with an LED trailer light I had.



Paradise by the Dashboard lights

I also got the key in the mail with the title and wired the main key switch back up to work again.
