Misc Elect probs, 68 F100.

Just got a 68 F100 w/360. Looks like it needs some electrical TLC. Brake lights, headlights work. LH turn signal works. RH does not. Front bulb does not light even when headlights are on. Bulb ok. Also, appears that no power is going to fuse box. Radio dead, cargo light dead, but indicator light on switch lights up, cig lighter dead. Heater blower, Dealer installed A/C blower works. Looking for a way to trouble shoot these issues.

Thanks!
John.

I had the same problem in a 55 chevy pickup with a cadillac steering column and found that it was a bad turn signal switch.

check the fusible links at the starter relay, sounds like you have a bad one. the contacts in the light sockets go bad after a period of time, that could be your problem there. also check all the grounds on the system, that is the major problem on old trucks. they get corroded over time and loose contact. a bad ground can cause all sorts of headaches.
