4kq parking lights now relayed!

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

On Sunday afternoon, I finally got around to relaying the parking lights on
my 86 4kq.

One thing I noticed, aside from the expected melted headlight switch, was
the more melted plug for the switch. The affected pin is number 30 (power).
I don't think I could have plugged the switch back into it. Luckily I had a
spare plug and switch in much better shape.

This is a warning to all that the switch is not the only piece that suffers
from having too much juice going through it. And the plug is a pain to swap
if you don't want to cut and splice the wires. It took a lot of fiddling
with tiny screwdrivers to pry out the pins for each wire on the good plug.

It may be my imagination, but I think the switch is already a bit cooler
than before!

Headlights next week.

Thanks to Tom Love (I think!) for the diagram and pic. It made the job
easier.

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
