Hello,

I have a couple of electrical puzzles to solve - wondering if anyone can coach me up a little...

1.  Blower: When I turn the key halfway (no crank yet) the blower turns on. 
2.  HeadlightsL The two in-board lights don't work at all.  But, when I hit the pedal switch the out-board lights seem to get  brighter/higher.  The red high-beam indicator on the dash display lights up when I hit the pedal switch.  I just replaced all 4 lights.

Another challenge is the material covering the armrests is in pretty poor condition.  Has anyone ever fabricated new armrest covers?  Structurally they are fine so I just need a cosmetic improvement.

Thanks for the help with past issues too.  The car is coming along nicely!

For the arm rests: Two choices I know off, Justdashes will recover them or you can look at the replacements OPGI is selling,  http://www.opgi.com/p/interior-trim/26333/228/CDP1010.html
