Electrical Problem?

Which strip are you refering to? A picture would help. If it is a fusible link, power should be on both sides if the link is good.

Just checked the little fuses..not the bigger ones...sorry don't know the name for them..but where i'm pointing is where i'm asking about

Sorry this one

Yup, these are mini fuses and if one side is powered, the other side must be. Only one sided power means a blown fuse.

I think you don't understand...when I take the mini fuse out, both sides of the empty slot both have power to them.Will send another photo...hope you can follow...thanks...dave

When fuse is removed, only one side should be powered. If both sides are powered, you have a short to power.

Was anythig done prior to this occurring?

was going to change out the bose radio for another brand, couldn't get the new one to work..put the old one back and did't power up and the instrument cluster lights don't work either...

I just answered your previous post.

Did you test for power supply to the radio?

At terminal # 6 (Yellow wire), it is the memory power source and must be hot at all times.
Terminal # 10 (Purple) is from ACC and powered when key is at ACC or RUN.

Tested them...no power

Retested the fuse block again...took out all mini fuses and now only the horn and audio banks have power going to both sides.and they are right next to each other...with fuse still out the horn still works...wtf?

Made some progress...disconnected harness from front speaker amp and now getting power for radio..will get new speakers for the doors and rewire..but horn circuit is still hot on both sides...and still no instrument cluster lights.

Have you done the test for cluster light as per my reply to your other post?

Let us keep all correspondence over here so we don't get mixed up.

Are the taillights working?

You definitely have a short to power and it might be at the fusebox.
disconnecting the speakers from amp could mean the speakers are shorting out their circuit due to bad wires or they are shorted to ground..

sorry ..replied to other post...both red/yellow and red/white have power/voltage. taillights working..still no illumination...will check switch now..the one on the dash...and again thank you...will donate in the future..just rough right now

Perform the test as per previous post on the wires for the lighting system at radio. You can disconnect the radio connector and turn on lights to see if it works for the dash illumination.

Yeah..we got it..everything works now #1 mini fuse at j/b was good but i cleaned it out with spray and reinserted the fuse..all works...sorry for your time but really helped jump start my brain with your suggestions..I hope I never have to ask a question again...yea right!...Thank You....Dave

Glad to know problem has been resolved.
