I'll start by saying the under-the-dash wiring in this 64 year old spider is a nightmare. There's been a LOT of cutting and pasting over the years.
Anyhow, the lights were working fine, and I may have momentarily grounded a wire, but no fuses blew. Now, the headlights won't go on unless I touch one of two left hand upper terminals on the fuse box (or the bar that connects them - see the pic). By "touch" I mean, with the ignition OFF, I simply use a small screwdriver and touch the terminal area. There's a small spark, the light to the right of the ignition switch goes ON, and the lights work! I'm not sure where to even begin!
I'd appreciate any advice!
