Keep looking. Sorry to say turned out this morning that was just a coincidence. I've now taken out and replaced the new switch thrice before I found another short, this time near the fuse block and bulkhead connector. The orange and yellow wires under your dash pertain to lighting, no question of it, and a pink one carries current for brake lights, the cigar lighter, map and courtesy lights. That pink wire can knock all your running lights down too. If you burn coin on a new switch, as I did, be SURE that bakelite connector seats FIRMLY on it, as a gap will mean no current, as I found on one iteration. Save the old switch. I plan to clean it up and re-use it when the cheap BWD goes. To think Chrysler fell from 1960s glory to near extinction in the belly of international crapitalism now! Fiat-Daimler-Dodge----chrysler(maybe). SAD!
You might want to rig a jumper out of 2 male spade connectors and test each leg off the switch connector. The two marked B1 & B2 are hot, or should be. DON'T jumper the D connnector, as that is GROUND for the door switch legs. Be CAREFUL if you try hot checking. I do it because I'm experienced, but only when equally DESPERATE, as I was this afternoon. It helped.
OK, night fell, so now to see if my instrument and running lights will STAY on. Good luck with your circuit snipe hunting.
