car starts all exterior lights wipers fan Windows work but anything that runs off the hot wire power locks, interior lights and radio do not. Wondering if there is a inline fuse or relay somewhere on the wire from the solenoid. Having problems finding one. Thanks

Are you saying that anything that requires the ignition switch to be in the Run position does not work?

No everything that runs off the ignition works the only things that aren't working run off a hot wire the power locks interior lights radio. I removed the stock radio and the hot yellow wire coming out of the harness had no voltage

The door locks run off a circuit breaker on the starter solenoid.


You failed to indicate what year car this is. That makes it difficult to insure that you get the right information the first time. Once you have updated you signature, I will post the correct diagram for your radio power problem.

To update your signature, hover over your user name on the top RH side of the page. An information box will appear below your user name. Click on Signature and then fill in or edit it to include information about your 5.0 Mustang. Things like the model year, body style, modifications to the car go in there along with any suitable comments.

It's a 1993 mustang Gt I checked with a voltage reader at both sides of that breaker and the power appears to travel through there was wondering if there is another fuse or relay from that point until that wire splits off inside the cabin

There is no fuse, switch or relay between the solenoid mounted circuit breaker and the door lock switches.



The interior lights have a fuse and can be turned on and off by the dimmer switch.
