look on the inner fender by the blower pulley look for a metal ring with black wires attached to it bolted down with a small nut (10mm socket) remove the nut clean the connection with steel wool or something to get rid of corrosion and replace. also check the wire connectors they are weatherpak connectors make sure they are in good shape clean and no moisture etc...
