Also, check the grounding points for various items (including
the engine ground strap!). Where lamps bolt on or where ground
wires are bolted to the body, clean the area to expose some
metal, then be sure to protect the area with vaseline or
your snake oil of choice. We had a Midget once that practically
nothing worked on. Cleaning the fuse block (took it off the car, got
rid of any corrosion, and solder/repaired as necessary) and cleaning
some places for the rear lamps to ground correctly got everything
working!
