Car won't crank, Guage lights flash, and how do I pull my starter?
It does seem like a cross wiring at the switch or elsewhere.
The Accessory position provides power to key switched circuits and the wiper motor.
The Run position does the same thing, and it also provides power to the ignition and alternator circuits (all lumped under Ignition 1)
Start provides power only to Ignition 2, and the starter relay trigger.
Generally, the circuits look like this
Instrument lamps get power through the fuse that is always hot and are tied to the headlight switch. A rheostat in the headlight switch controls the brightness.
FWIW. On 67 and probably your 66, the parking light fuse has two wires out. One to the dome light, the other to the B2 terminal on the headlight switch. Crimped onto the B2 connector is the wire to the brake light switch.
This is really puzzling. I think your saying the illumination lights are flashing on, even though the headlight switch is off.
