Ok ya'll first time hick user here! Sorry I did not follow all thr protocol. It was was 12:00 midnight and I was not a happy picker. I will promise to try harder next time and do it right like ya'll. Thank you for the help, the suggested fuses are a given we passed that idea in the 19 century sometime after i quit fiddleing with distributer points and went electronic. Speaking of electronic thats the issue here and thats were I am being dumbfounded. After the fuses, after the relays, after the instrument panel plugs being check do we have any other ideas or suggetions?

Just clean ribbin' TCELasVegas. No offense, really.

I've been checking in on the twin thread, though, occasionally. Have you checked the wires in the column yet?

Well ya'll I have no problem being on the on the recieving end of a rippin, Last time I check my skin was pretty thick. After hours of searching through wires and my Ford authorized wiring diagram book, few bruises to my head and our Las Vegas 100+ degree heat I have determined that there is a short in the wire and it must be replaced (wire from the fuse panel to the insterment panel). Thank you for the help its nice to have a place to run to when you are in a bind. Thank you
