[T2] Electrical problems

[Harris Pat]

Joining this late - hope I'm not repeating. 
My 71 has factory wiring which is not 100% correct according to Bentley but has a minor bit shown for 72. 

Check the number of terminals you SHOULD have on key switch as well as the headlight switch. DPO may have replaced it with
an incorrect one. 

For easy access you can remove the 4 screws from the instrument panel and disconnect speedometer cable. Panel can be pulled out a bit for access. Will see if I can send a pic. 
Good luck,
Pat
