ooh, that's something I didn't know. I'll have to look for that. good
tidbit! I also haven't checked through the owner's manual yet, it's
possible I'll find a card in there or something like that.

And that's how these behave - but (and I haven't checked super-closely)
I'm thinking it's the front parking lights in this case.
but for all I know it's a shorted out headlight switch and this is all
acedemic =)

which is what I'd expect. So I've got either a hotwire or a short. I'm
curious if the tail lights come on too now. but I have a brake line to
replace before I muck around further. It's not going to pass any
inspection (salvage or safely) with a blown rear hard line (I tested out
the brakes last night - no ABS and they worked great till the pedal hit
the floor =) )
