Hubby came in from the garage and said, "Get on the forum and see what you can find out."

He is working on the wiring for the radio in my 75 B. (see 'radio' post) We now have no power to the interior light, the cigarette lighter or the radio. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Now what? And is the fuse box under the bonnet on the sidewall the only fusebox in the car?
 
I may be wrong, but I think that the radio and lighter uses an inline fuse hidden under the dash.
 
Well, hubby came in from garage, said he fixed it. When I asked how, he said, "Top secret, I can't tell you." After a few minutes of intense torture, he broke. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
Said he jiggled the wires, changed a blown fuse and now we have power to all the wires, including the 2 that didn't before. So hopefully, will be a piece of cake to slip the radio in and run the speaker wires to the rear speakers.

Jiggled the wires...heck, that would have been the first thing I did! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yeah, Jaybird, but where's the fun in that? Thrill of the hunt, and all. But then, it's a guy thing! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It did keep him out of my hair for the most of today though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have a long list of things to keep him busy, starting with the heater. And then there's the 8x10 framed "honey do" list I gave him for his retirement...((where is that anyway?))

NO NO, you are not out numbered here and we all know that you are right on what ever it was you said, I didn't hear you myself.

Are you any kin to my wife. Just kidding, you sound great and easy to get along with, Thanks for the smiles. Wayne
