It’s just exhausting to trace ALL the little stupid things… just a sampling:
the spring holding the backup light bulb touching the center lead of the socket!

wire for the brake light cut in the harness footwell/“firewall corner and then nicely taped the harness
headlight relay minor corrosion on one contact (passed 5V)
Original AND New headlight switch faulty
hazard switch incorrect connected
head light switch incorrect connected
Center console instrument lighting incorrect connected
A/c switch partial no contact
door interior lights switches not connected, no wires
turn signal stock switches corroded
and so on and on….
Now all the things you just read are the solutions to a problem or the problem itself but I get
fuse # 4 blows sometimes and right side rear lights not working and no brake lights at all and hazard when turned on stuck in on and light switch pink wire is getting warm and no horn and lights only open
all that in one go….!!! And I ask myself: where is the problem… and that is where I went wrong 😑 the question I should have asked myself should have been - how many problems are there‼️

That’s a lot of neglect and / or neanderthal electricians at work for a long time on one car! I’m having lunch with my multimeter and a 10 foot wire..

all the wiring I did for my additional stuff is not hooked up … just run the wires but not connected to power:
Powersteering, electric fuel pump, second headlights, Fuel pressure gauge, ignition switch, starter switch, interior fan, heater hose valve,voltmeter , clock… all that will get there own fuse / relay panel!
when I’m done with this car I know pretty much every nut, bolt , bushing , cable, wire, bulb, connector, hose, tube, hydraulic cylinder, bearing, ball joint, spacer and so on by their first name!! I touched them all!🖕
