[DeTomaso] Electrical Issues

Fuse 12 provides power with ignition on to the brake lights and reversing
lights.
It also provides power to the blinkers, water, temp, oil pressure gauges,
so if they work and it is wired up per factory, it should not be the fuse.
The PE fuse panel also would show a red led if the fuse is blown, you can
pull that fuse with the ignition on and it should light.
The wires to brake and stop lights go through a multi wire connector near
the water bottles as Mike said.
The headlight motor problem could be the relay, h/l motor/connectors or
micro switches.
That circuit is fed by Fuse 10 which also feeds the heater blower motor.

   Fuse 12 provides power with ignition on to the brake lights and
   reversing lights.
   It also provides power to the blinkers, water, temp, oil pressure
   gauges, so if they work and it is wired up per factory, it should not
   be the fuse.A
   The PE fuse panel also would show a red led if the fuse is blown, you
   can pull that fuse with the ignition on and it should light.
   The wires to brake and stop lights go through a multi wire connector
   near the water bottles as Mike said.
   The headlight motor problem could be the relay, h/l motor/connectors or
   micro switches.
   That circuit is fed by Fuse 10 which also feeds the heater blower
   motor.A

     Richard,
     How do you think the taillights etc get their power?
     Start at the back of the car and foow the wires forward. You will
     find junction block (or maybe two, I can't remember?) on the RH
     side, generally near the water bottles. Clean those connections and
     cross your fingers! :)
