I just bought a 66 Mustang project car. It has a fuse blowing problem. The 14 amp accessory fuses blows as soon as you turn on the ignition.
I found a lot of wiring diagrams that say the fuse (number 1) controls back up lights, radio, PRNDL light and turn signals. My turn signals work fine.
I don't have a radio, nor does the car have backup lights. I found the connector for the PRNDL light but it is unplugged and I can't see where it would go.
I want to isolate the circuits so I can find the short but haven't found a good starting point yet. The radio appears to be on circuit 140, black with red going to a yellow 3 way plug. I unplugged what was in the yellow connector but still have a short. There appears to be another wire hooked to the fuse but I can't find it on the wiring diagram.
Can you guys help me understand this? What else is hooked to the number 1 fuse?
Thanks
Dan
