L.J.
I looked tonight and there is no multi-pin connector for the front light for an '86. The wires come out of the harness through a grommet above the battery and into the front left headlight bucket. I could move the smaller loom of wires back and forth in the grommet, I am confident that I couldn't do that with a pin connector. I did disconnect the wires in the headlight bucket and tried again, the fuse blew.
The process of elimination now eliminates the wires after the headlight bucket. I am following the story pretty well, but I have no idea what to do next. Hope you or someone has some thoughts.
