Do a test of all lighting ?

Make sure battery is fully charged first.

The fusible link is located in the harness that runs along the firewall to the starter relay.

Some of the guys that run the show around here thought you would get more help down here inthe electrical forum.

I would do as Dennis said, and take a survey of what is working and what isn't with a known good battery, Then write back. If absolutely nothing is working, then it is probably a fusible link near the starter relay.
