Driving back from lunch today, hit a huge Michigan pot hole. The radio, ignition, gauges, and fuel solenoid, emergency flashers are dead. I have battery power, blower fan, etc. I am thinking fusible link?

 

Forgot to mention fusible links replace with new ones, checked with meter and have power through them.

 

You posted this in the classifieds.

 

Fixed..........

 

Pull the covers on the column and see if the connection to the bottom of the multi function switch is good. I have seen those connectors burnt. That hole could have knocked it loose.

 

I will check it when I get home, this sounds to be the most plausible. Thanks.

 

You find anything around the multi function switch??

 

The plug inside in the column was plugged in. Checking with my meter I have power on the pink wire. +12.7 volts to ground and to the black wire right next to it. When I turn the key on I don't find power on any other wires. I need to study the service manual so I can determine whats up. Not sure why the insulation is so stripped back it appears the harness was made this way.



Column Wires

 

I haven't looked in a manual yet. I think that large red wire is supposed to hot all the time. Its a power feed. The switch has two power feeds.

 

Checked the red wire into the key switch no power. I have to check it back to the battery.
