Problem with dash lights and wipers.. Need help :(
Last week I lost quite a few electrical items.. Gas gauge, green dash lights, turn signals, wipers, and the indicator light for the high beams. I figured it was just a fuse, since the car has only 5 of them to cover everything. The next day however, I noticed that the car was a little difficult to start. I made it home, but when I tried to start it again (after replacing what I thought was a bad fuse for the dash lights) the ignition switch literally fell apart on me. I figured that was the cause of all my problems, and I ordered a new ignition switch immediately. The switch came and I installed it right away. Well that solved the starting problem, and made the following items work again: Turn signals, high beam indicator, and the gas gauge. However, the green dash lights and the wipers still do not work. Anyone have an idea what the hell is going on here? The switch is wired up the same way as the old one, and obviously the fuse that I put in is good since some of the dash lights work. I am really confused, and don't know how to solve this problem. ANY help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

p.s. It's a 66 Fairlane 2-door hardtop, if that helps any. _________________ '66 Fairlane 500 2dr "Valerie"
