Can anyone show me a schematic of the headlight/exterior lighting for a 95 D21?

Just took apart the H/L switch and the pins inside are charred. I got a used one coming from a friend of mine for $25. I looked over all the schematics and based on those I deduced that the H/L switch took out all the lighting both inside and out. The H/L switch happens to be linked to all the schematics I glossed over. Wish me luck.

Ok here goes,

The old H/L switch was burned up. I installed a new used one. One of the fuses burned up right away leaving me only one working headlight. I dinked around under the hood and what did I find????

Some tard mechanic had cut up the M50, M51 harness. Obviously this is why finding a good repair place can be a task, he left the wire splices exposed. They have been touching the body. Also because of his shoddy work the headlight is black compared to the left side, too much amperage which would explain the fuse blowing. It's too far gone to repair, I'll have to find one in a yard, cut that harness off and butt connect it to what''s left of my harness.

Too all you shoddy mechs out there, go die.

Oh and to cover up the crap work someone shoved a 30 amp fuse where a 10 amp should be. Nice way to start a fire. or burn up the harness.
