Thanks Glen
I think it may have just been the connections under the wood trim center
piece where they are crowded by the window and light switch wires. They
seemed a bit loose. OD tested OK on a short drive, but the test was a bit
confused by a gulping Hiolley. But that's another story. It will take a
serious drive to be sure it is now OK.
I dread getting at the top cover switches -probably beyond my ability at
this point.
