I had an alarm installed on my '74 Thing and the idiots managed to screw up my electrical. I have had it at their shop three times and I don't want to continue to deal with this stereo shop. The wipers and windshield spray no longer works. The front turn signals are also non-working.

Does anyone have a fuse box layout so that I have an idea of what is supposed to plugged into a specific fuse line?

That particular one is a mechanical part on the stock Thing - not electrical. Pressure from the spare tire goes through a valve on the steering column then back to the squirter.

This is the '73 fusebox. 74 should be the same, except the (gas) heater hookups won't be there.
