[DeTomaso] Electrical Issues

All,

I just got my car (1974 US GTS) back from a body only restoration‹it was in
the shop five years.  Glad to have it back, but there are issues.
Everything worked when I dropped it off.  Now, the only lights that work are
the front and side markers, the right license plate, and the left running
tail light.  I haven't tried the headlights, but it was light outside and
had no brake or blinker lights.  And the horn doesn't work.

Inside the driver's door jam, I only have one jam switch and a cover they
added to another hole below it.  I thought I had two switches on the
driver's side and one on the passenger side, but the diagram (Pantera Place)
doesn't show that.

I'm guessing connections are either not made, poorly made, or there's a
ground problem, or, all of the above. The fuses are good.  Anyone have a
suggestion other than to hit each item and check the wiring one by one?  I'm
not to keen on taking it back to the shop because I don¹t have brake lights,
and I'm not sure I trust them to fix it.  And, last time I dropped it off,
it took five years to get it backŠ
