You can use your new voltmeter to see if there's power at: either end of the fuse, the ignition switch, and the headlight switch.
Once you know were you do and don't have voltage you will be closer to finding the connector that I knocked loose! :)
Big thanks to Lance to helping me figure out the brake lights. We concluded that the fuse box is spotty. We tested the #7 fuse multiple times each with mixed results. 12v at the front of the fuse... 12v on the back... no 12v on the front top of the fuse...no 12v from the rear top...etc. But after some testing and disconnecting and connecting all the wires we eventually got 12v at the front and rear of the fuse. It's a brand new WW 8 fuse, push on terminal box, so I don't know what the problem is? I'll order another, and solder the bridges together, and replace?
We also found that my push rod at the MC was not adjusted correctly, and the brake lights were constantly on. made a minor adjustment, and now all is good!
Hope to drive it to Litchfield if the weather is nice! |

Here's another guy that had the same problem with the fuse block.
Looks like it's not unheard of.
