Thanks for the help so far, Team. I'm in the process of disassembling the offending ciruits. Battery out and fuse block loose so far. The right-side parking lamp circuit got so hot that it has melted some of the wire insulation!

First task is to remove all the patched-in wiring from the PO. He added two power amps for the stereo and *shudder*, it looks like there may have been a CB in there! There is a PL259 hanging from some coax under the dash! Lookin' for "smokies" back in 77? Even though the car ran well for several weeks it is going to hell fast - these circuit hacks have to go before I can test the rest.

"How long before the warp drive is back on line, Scotty?" "It'll be at least several days, Cap'n." While the battery is out I may as well go ahead and clean up the box and coat with POR15. There's no rust yet, but why wait? Then all the lamp assemblies come out for connection testing and clean-up.
