I need help from smarter people than I ...the instrument panel lights on my 68 won't go out. There's no impact on turn signals, bright indicator, or gauges. To date, I've replaced the headlight switch with one from Borg warner acquired from an auto parts store.

Here's the chronology. After the car had sat for a while, the battery was dead and had to be charged before starting. When it started, the instrument panel lights were off ( as they should have been). The occassion came to turn on the headlights, and the panel lights came on (as they should have). Upon stopping the car, and turning off the headlight switch, the panel lights would not go out.

I've removed the dash cluster and run through it with a multimeter, and find continuity for the instrument lights only where it belongs. I've checked the plug that goes to the head light switch, and the blue/red wire connection is always hot ... is that as it should be?

I've been pouring over Hammar's schematics to figure out what's going on ... and I could really use some help. I posted on the classic forum, and it was suggested that I ask here as well. Please pardon the double post .. I'm approaching desperate.
