Question
All works great except the headlights.  I have the book but cannot figure out
how to change the fuse.  The book says it is integral with the headlight switch.

Answer
If the fuse is on the headlight switch, it is better to remove the switch from the dash to get at it. there should be a small allen head set screw below the switch on the lower edge of the headlight switch panel. Remove the screw and lift upwards on the switch housing to disengage it from the upper edge. Then ease the switch assembly out so that you can see the fuse. Remember to disconnect the battery before removing the switch.
