Most blade fuses have little openings on each side of the number on the top of the blade fuse. So I have a tester that comes to a point, has a wire and clip out the back and a light in the handle, I got it from sears on line for like 8 bucks or so. I put the clip on the engine block and touch the top and bottom of the fuse. If the handle lights there is 12 volts there. I had to pull all the plugs in the back of the fuse block to gain access to the connections since the plastic plug was so tight with the wire I couldn't get the tester into it. When I did I found that 12 volts was not on the connector in the fuse block where it connected to the wires going to the handle.. I pulled the fuse block and opened it to find that where the fuse plugged in the little finger resting against the fuse was broken. I took a little wire and solder it in the square block that had the little finger and then soldered the wire in and bent the wire back into it. Just as long as the solder isn't a cold joint it fixed the issue. I then had 12 volts at the horn, lights and blinkers. When reassembling the whole thing went dead. So I just took the tester and tested both sides of the main fuse. 12 on one side 0 on the other. So many 30 amp fuse burned.
Hope this and the wiring diagram helped On Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at 1:13:43 PM UTC-5, marktr160 wrote: > > This is my next step.
