Weird thing on the washer pump, I pulled the two wire jack off the motor and put my multimeter probes in it, was going to see if 12 volts went there when I gave the switch a turn. Funny thing, it read 12 volts w/o the switch (?!). Also my high beams don't work. Even the low beams go out when I hit the high beam switch. Gremlins, gremlins, they drive me nuts. I wonder how many cars land at the boneyard owing to unfindable gremlins.
