How do you open access panal

[pattypape]

Hi Bruce and Ron,

Thanks for the compliment, (I Think) But I do not remember mating with
any Birds in the 60's and 70's ,, But one never knows?/?/

Ron, there is a screw buried in the carpet mid-point on the narrow
side of that panel, behind that panel is the ZF circuit board and
possibly a relay for the 12 Volt up-grade to the ZF Control board.

The headlight and the running light relays are forward of the brake &
throttle pedals, accessible from the outside front behind the grill and
the inspection plate above the driver headlight.

If both the headlights and the turn signals are in-operable you may
have two different problems, The headlights should work will ignition
OFF and the turn-signals with the ignition ON. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Also you mention an ignition switch issue,,,??,, Since you are an Ohio
neighbor , and probably pulling the Bird out of Winter Storage, I would
suggest starting at the 12 Volt source, Check the batteries, for dead
or shorted cells and re-dress the posts and grounds in both battery
compartments. That headlight switch is a problematic switch. Good to
carry a spare NAPA # HL6669.
