Hi folks, new around here, glad to see involved owners.

Here's my problem. Recently I started having issues with starting, the battery would only hold a charge for about 24 hours. I had to use a portable jumper on a few occations, then I replaced the battery. Now when I flick on the lights, the radio, ac system and much of the dash go dead. I also have a headlight motor issue, which I assume is unrelated, but...

Any ideas?

Well, as emabarrassing as it may be, I discovered that the interior lighting intensity knob was twisted all the way off! Sometimes, the answer is right in front of you!

So glad this was an easy fix, I was thinking dealership for wiring diagnostics. Whew!

Anyone have good luck with brass headlight motor replacement gears, or have another suggestion?

The brass gears are the way to go! I'm waiting till one of mine begins acting up, then I'll replace both at the same time...
