Electrical Quandty

Hi everyone
All ready this week to get thew 82 Rocco certified for the road. just 
have to have an exhaust system put on (Modified to come off  the S&S 
Headers). Nothing fancy, just stock for now.

I am being plagues by an couple of electrical malfunctions. Spent the 
day re-soldering the "D" plug on the fuse box to a plug I scrounged 
from the junker.  The old one was burnt at terminals 19 and 20

Anyway, seems  I have no left front parking light or left rear  tail 
light  under any conditions.  If I put the 4-way flasher on I get both 
the front and rear signals to work, (along with the right side) but so 
does the  left tail light flash along with the signal.  just operating 
the turn signal gives no flash to either the front or the rear.

In addition the horn only gives a "grunt" I can almost be certain it is 
the relay.

I suspect a bad ground on the lights as I have no tail light (left 
rear) and no front marker light, but have no idea where to check for 
these.

On the very bad side, my "next" winter project (83 GTi Rabbit) was just 
totaled on Friday. My son driving and some "failed to check over their 
shoulder before changing lanes" dummy  cut him off. He ended up sliding 
into their rear end. Pushed the right front back about 2". Collapsed 
the bumper mount, drove the shock tower up and back  and generally bent 
the hell out of the right side. the car is 2" shorter on the right.   I 
will be looking for an new project convertable...yea
