yep...problem sorted...turned out to be - yes - a bad ground!
Another problem now -
I cant get the hazard switch to light up...afaik, the switch has
never illuminated. I want to fix that now that I have my console out
of the car (for the n'th time!!)
Yes, the bulb works. I've tried to put power+ground to the respective
plug ends on the switch...it illuminates!
But when I plug it in the harness, there is no reaction.
Please advise!
Best wishes
