There we go. No worries about shorts now:
Now I need to attach the fabric that covers all this, and then one 10mm bolt holds the control unit in:
But about this point in time, I decided that it's time to get to the "I'll do that later" stuff. First off is the fuel filler door. That's pretty important. It's DAMNED hard to get open without the cable, and I can't just drive around with it open all the time. So, I looked around the garage for something to use. What caught my eye was some thin safety wire. A quick loop on both ends and I've got a short-term fix.
I came inside to see what the total damage is going to be. I need three cables for the control box, one for the fuel door, a new headlight switch, a new blinker relay, and maybe a new hazard light switch (mine no longer does anything, but that might be related to the blinker relay). All in all, an expensive day, and I didn't even finish putting in the dashboard.
...But I DO have a functioning blower.
