There are too many problems with my car to list. I am, however, triumphant in tracking down my wiper problem, bad fuse (I swore I replaced them all in the sedan) and wiper/washer work like a champ. I have also semi corrected the buzzer/seatbelt/door open issue. Atleast far enough to figure it out the rest of the way. HOWEVER :

I also found the cause to jumping gauges (all 3 causes). The trip meter reset button mechanism had come off and was rolling around in the gauges portion of the instrument cluster. This probably caused the short that burned my ground in the PCB to crisp. OR perhaps its the fact that my white/blue wire (pin1 on sntrument cluster) is ground OR hot, depending on the position of the high beam switch. The first thing that led me to the lights were the fact that whenever I hit the high beams the temp gauge would be pegged at 100%. When I took the cluster apart and plugged the elec connector back on I noticed the high beam light was very dimly lit, even though all the lights were off. This also made my temp gauge register an abnormal tempurature (engine off). Clearly I have a short in the lighting system. I need to get a wodlering iron and fix the open short but thats next weekend. In the meantime, the ETM's that I have do not relate in any fashion to the wire colors I have. Where can I find a Euro version for an 83 NA?

The schematics in the Haynes manual include both US and UK versions; I don't know if the UK version would be the same as the Euro version but it might be worth a look.
