This is my problem, except with the parking/tail light circuit. I had
to install a bypass fuse where the box melted. I've gone through each
of the lights on that circuit to be sure there's a good connection -
I've cleaned the ground attachments to the frame and even disassembled
and cleaned the light switch, and I still seem to get that same
resistance. It doesn't seem to be drawing many amps, either.
I have another fuse box to put in, but of course I can't install it
until I'm sure the problem is fixed.
So what is the problem? I haven't gone through all the dash lights yet,
to make sure those connections are clean, but it's hard to imagine them
getting corroded, unless there was some leak under there.
Any suggestions as to where I should look? What I should clean/replace?
I hate having hot wiring . . .
