When I replaced both switches I just tightened them with a wrench. Are they to be fully seated real tight? Can they be turned too far in? Is there a specific amount of turns? I just removed the old ones without counting turns, etc. I didn't apply any sealer to the threads, I figured the blue stuff they came with was sealer. Although frustrated on this, it is not toward any of you, to the contrary, I appreciate all advice-Thanks!

Disconnecting the battery will not clear a 'serious' fault. It will come back on immediately, as there is no memory in an 79 to remember it.
Use no sealer, and the thread is tapered so it will seal fully - give it another 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
And tell us at least where you are, US vs. ROW sometimes makes a difference.
