On my 1985 245 I had no floor shift light. I pulled the plastic cover off the shift to see 2 wires - 1 red and 1 red/white. The red/white was cut. I repaired this and the light came on. So, I reassembled everything and then tested - no light. Not only no more floor light - the dash lights went out.
I checked the fuse panel (I never saw fuses like that before) - but the fuse for the dash/ rear fog lights checked out OK. I'm thinking I shorted something. Still - no floor lights and no dash lights.
Any ideas?
Second thing, probably unrelated - under the driver's dash panel in the upper right is a cluster of wires and a red wire is not connected to anything. Tomorrow I'll upload a photo. Just curious.
Thanks! Jamie
