Robert,
Running around with a loose metal gearbox cover on a BN1 that has a
centrifugal governor with bare overdrive terminals is just asking for
trouble. Get the gearbox cover, the extension panel and bulkhead panel all
carefully installed back exactly where they should be. Make sure the
overdrive harness that passes between bulkhead and vertical cover panel is
not pinched in any way. You'll find a gap in the sealing rubber there where
the harness, the speedo cable and the tach cable should all pass through.
Make sure they're doing that correctly.
Swapping BACK the fuses? Signal and brake lights and fuel gauge all work
from the fuse powered when the key is on. The headlight switch is fed full
time. I'd check the back of the headlight switch for a bad connection or
you
may have burned something by shorting out those overdrive terminals with
the
aluminum gearbox cover.
Bottom line, it's not Carmen's fault.
(Sorry, people, I know this car and it's a good trustworthy machine until
she gets screwed with)
