no power to the fuse box..help
hey guys/gals
im in the process of wiring my 65 and need some help. the new harness is routed and ive gotten the hot wire from the battery to the starter. also got the two red wires from the starter to the front of the car. ran one red wire to #50 on the ignition switch and the other to #30 on the light swith//i think this is correct. then ran another wire from each of those posts to the last spot on the fuse box.(8th terminal) then ran a black wire from 15/54 on the ignition switch to the first spot on the fuse box i turn the key, the engine turns over which tells me ive got power at the ignition swith right? so, how come i have no power at the fuse box? i tried the test light and nothing happens. shouldnt the two wires coming from the starter to the ignition and light switch be hot? my thinking is that both end terminals on the fuse box should be hot now but arent? any help/info would be appreciated..course if your in the 909 and wanna come over that would be even better,lol |

Only one of them is Hot. Find out which one with your test light. The Hot one goes to the Headlight switch. From there, power goes to everything else.
