Not sure about the lights, but you can remove the hinge and put it into your original center console if you're so inclined.

I know that the main switches around the center console can short out but since you were looking at the engine when it happened you'd have to think that something's shorting out somewhere in the engine bay.

PS - Nothing wrong with carriage returns.

 

i have done a search and replaced the fusible link which is 2.5 amps did nothing, then i replaced that retractor thingy on the driver strut tower did nothing next is going to be the motor relays i will be lucky enough to have an 85 at the jyard i can rob them from so ill see 2morrow if that is it or not i have looked at the majority of the wiresunder the hood and i cant relate them to the lights ill look under the dash tomorrow. any suggestions would be appreciated. off topic are 79 glass sunroofs hard to come by??? if so or is someone wants one i have one make offer its in decent shape
