Dave, we're not making fun of ya or anything like that. But...I do have a little chuckle knowing it's someone ELSE goin thru it. Trust me...we've ALL been where you are at some point, and we've all got the scars(physical and metal) to prove it! It's like a Classic Corvette rite of passage....everyone must do it.
We enjoy helping others thru issue like this...it's why we're here. We kid around, and have fun, but in the end, it's all about helping others. If we can help get and keep another Classic Shark on the road, it's all good!

Thanks, Joel.
Sometimes I can't wait to work on this old heap and sometimes I want to drive it off a cliff... with me in it! Put us BOTH out of our misery.
I just look forward to being able to jump in and help another struggling neophyte. I guess I have... since I've learned more than a thing or two about interior installation. The good and the bad. I must say, I got a compliment from a body man about my interior. He wanted to know where I had it done because it's one of the best he's seen. I did it myself. 
So I did offer some advice the other day. (Don't use the supplied clips to secure the springs to the cover. Build your own clips using hog rings. It's faster, stronger, and it flexes that way.)

And I must admit that I very much enjoy my new community of enthusiasts.

I twist the light switch CCW and the passenger side courtesy light goes on!
More wins are sure to follow. Thanks gang!
Thank you gentlemen!
The lights are fixed except for the door ajar warning on the drivers side. Passenger side works. All interior lights work. Clock? No. :(
I actually fixed the switches. They needed some wire brush and TC-11 treatment. Cleaned out the holes in the bird cage. WHT terminal needed to be pushed toward the switch just about 1/32. Pass side was just dirty. Needed reconditioning. Bubba had wrong bulb in dome light (1 terminal not 2).
Anyway. You all helped me learn how the system works. Once it made sense to me the fix was easy.
And, of course, I fixed the switches two days after ordering new ones from Zips.
