Electrical Issue
I have 1979 L-82 with some electrical problems
Things that don't work
Headlights
sidemarkers
Signals (blinkers and hazards)
Brakes (only one)
tach and speedo
dash lights
heather/air
things that do work
Starter
oil, temp, volts and gas gauge
windshield wipers
I have replaced all the fuses.
Many people have suggested checking the grounds but I have no idea where to look. At this point, I am happy with getting the blinkers and headlights to work so I can drive the car.
Any help where I can find all the grounds of the car would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for you help.

Purchase the '79 assembly instruction manual (AIM). It will show you all the grounding points for the wiring harnesses. Unless I miss my guess, the one you're looking for is on the driver's door hinge post. Difficult to see and get to with the dash installed.
