I had to take the steering column out to get the pedal assembly out (long story)
and with everything back together I have no (highbeams/lowbeams/blinkers/wipers)

I have read that it could be the multifunction switch, I have taken that off, made sure everything is plugged back in nice and tight. No burns or melting or cut wires.

Could this be a fluke, and the whole switch went bad while we had everything unplugged?

I also have one wiring harness plug (brown) that I cannot seem to find where it plugs into -
I do not remember unplugging it from anything, but when I go back to video (yes video) it isn''t hanging down where it is now.

The wires going to the brown wire harness plug are

2 white/pnk - 2 grey - 1 black - 1 red/yel

Don''t know if this is part of the same problem or not.

Thanks for the help ahead of time ahead of time, you guys always come through!

Dan

That brown connector belongs to the Low Oil Warning Relay that is triggered by the Low Oil Switch. It should be a black relay under the steering column.
