Hi Chris,

The diagram used to be online on the dutch delorean site (www.delorean.
nl)but for some reason the link downloading the schematic is dead.
May be a temporary thing or the firewall at work playing tricks 
on me so you may want to check it out (go to "techniek" and then 
look for electrical diagram).

I probably have it at home somewhere aswell but I need to look tonight 
for that.

As for your lights problem. Start by cleaning your connectors and 
using some contact spray on them, worked mirracles on my DMC.
