My '66 MGB, converted to negative earth, is slowly coming together. It has a fresh coat of paint on it just to keep it from rusting, and I've been taking it for spins the last couple of days. Today I tried the headlights.
They don't work. I just turned the key on and flipped the switch. No headlight, no tail lights, no front corner marker lights. I do have brake lights and turn signals. The map light switch is immovable. Here's the thing: I pulled back on the turn signal stalk, and I got high beams. That's weird, since I'm sure my first '66 MGB (mom bought it new, I got it, and drove it in the '80s) didn't have that feature.
I am not a mechanic. My first guess is that the toggle switch is bad. But I don't know; it's only a guess. How do I diagnose the fault to find out where it is?
