The lights on my '69 model 656 diesel suddenly went out recently. I went through the wiring under the control panel & fixed a couple of nicked wires. I've got 12 VDC through the fuse block but not at the rotary light switch. Fuse is good.
When I put a jumper wire to the light switch, the lights worked but the jumper wire got firey hot quickly, so I've got a short. I tried tracing the hot wire but it disappears into the wiring harness. I inspected every wire I could see & can't find a short or even find a wire that's arcing.
My manual doesn't have much of a schematic, just drawings. Has anyone run into anything like this?
Thanks,
Gary
