Help needed on electric issue (Light and wiper!)

[toFUNit at yahoo.com (toFUNit@yahoo.com)]

Okay, what can I do to fix the ignition switch... So I can see if that
will fix my headlight at the same time, if not I still have to figure
out what is wrong for the light!

Not an easy task to work on the car outside when it's raining :)

It sounds like you may have a bad ignition switch.

Also, the two relays should be the same, the first three digits refer to
the body style, so if the
rest is the same, it could be the same part.

HTH, good work so far,
