You have a rusted e-brake cable that's not releasing after applicaiton.

Sounds like water is getting into the crankcase. Check the oil to see if it is getting milky white. If so, you either have a blown head gasket or a creaked block. You might try draining and flushing the crankcase and putting a bottle of something like Bars Leak in the radiator. If the leak is small enough this might work. Good Luck.

One long bolt at the top - requires a 7mm socket to remove the bolt. The light housing will pry out with a screw driver. There are three ball and socket type connectors that hold the housing in and I just pryed off the plastic housing carefully and "balls" pop out of the sockets. Finally, I was replacing the faded plastic housing and it came with a new wiring harness. It's impossible to reach the connector to use the new wiring harness that comes with the new plastic light housing. So just use the existing wiring harness with the new light assembly.

The first thing I would check is to make sure battery is securely tied down, cables are connected, and in good shape. Sounds basic but it has caused this problem for many of us. - mark -

I can provide a source for the wiring diagrams, hopefully the needed diagrams will be in there, if not you will need to buy a factory service manual set. Here is the link: http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html
