know that Harry the Butcher has worked on my bus at some point. I
moved the B/Y wire from #3 to #7 as my diagram showed and "YES", I
can now dim my dash lights for the first time. I also found a wire up
top that was labeled "Fog Lights", but wasn't attached anywhere. It
may have been attached to the accessory solenoid at one time. Looks
like I've got more re-wiring to chase down. That problem will be for
another day, as needless to say they don't work. On these older BB's,
can anyone tell me what is normal here. I pull the H/L switch out one
click, and get both parking lights up front, both in the rear, plus
the tag light. When I turn on the low beams, or high beams, the front
parking lights aren't on, the rear lights all work fine. Is this the
BB way on these older buses, or is Harry still messing with me. Tia,
