Und So! Los and Beholds. This f#&$in' coupe is making me crazy again! When I left it yesterday the horn didn't work. Well as of today it did work. Argh went the horn! Oh Wow! I wonder if the lights work too? I got home and put it in the garage and ate lunch, I went out and played around with something else and I noticed the taillight was on. Hmmm Key is off (I don't know if it matters) Light switch is also off. Head lights still don't work and to turn the tail lights off, I have to turn the headlights to the on position. How does this car do that? I know what must have happened. Even though the bakelite discs are keyed with a slot that prevents them from turning, something is out of sync. But what the hell is wrong with this thing. The wiring is not frayed or farmer fixed. No head lights or brake light and I get tail lights where I shouldn't have any lights.
