[doc] Headlight switch fixed! Now: Hazard Switch problems.........

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

yep...problem sorted...turned out to be - yes - a bad ground!

Another problem now - 
I cant get the hazard switch to light up...afaik, the switch has 
never illuminated. I want to fix that now that I have my console out 
of the car (for the n'th time!!) 

Yes, the bulb works. I've tried to put power+ground to the respective 
plug ends on the switch...it illuminates!

But when I plug it in the harness, there is no reaction.
Please advise!

Best wishes
