Thanks Guys. It's great to have such sup****t  :-)

Fuse Box: I can't find a ground on the fuse box 
and the wiring diagram seems not to show one. 
There is a screw at the lower middle of the fuse 
holders that seems attached to the chassis and, 
thinking it might be a ground, I tested it but it 
is not. There is an infinite resistance between it 
and the ground pole on the battery.

Plug Connection Cable Harness: This is supposed to 
be somewhere at the rear of the car and I remember 
accessing it way back. I removed the spare wheel 
and the cover of the wheel well on the left side 
where the cable comes through to the rear but it 
is not there. I also removed the bulb holder 
brackets but no sign of it there either. Does 
anyone know where it is supposed to be?

Turning lights: All dead and no clicking when arm 
is moved around. Also dead: horn,
blinkers, brake lights, instrument panel lights.

What does work: Main lights, dipped lights, side 
and parking lights, radio, roof.

I switched some fuses around but it made no 
difference. I visited Kragen a couple of days ago 
and they had one box with just two suitable fuses 
- 8 and 16 amp (one each) - and two other unusable 
ones. They wanted $4 box. It seems to be related 
to the price of oil ;-)

TIA
