This beautiful Black Bird has been completely restored as much as 33 years can do and I am finally driving it. All was well until suddenly my backup lights, and right power window quit working at the same time. Additionally, all my gauges quit too. It has both new voltage regulators, and all fuses are fine. Connections seem good. Any suggestions where to look?

Thumbed through a few diagrams and unfortunatly don't see the common area for your problem. However having had a similar problem with a different circuit recheck the fuse area. put your test light on the blade, not the fuse itself to see if it has power on both sides. Mine didn't look corroded but they were oxidized enough to lose contact on 2 of my fuses. Did you lose your Ammeter as well? Different wiring from the other gauges. I get a chance this weekend I'll look at the schematics some more.

High there HeadacheGuy! Thanks for the answer. Yes! ALL my gauges are out as well. I don't know where you are located, but right now we have three feet of snow in the yard, so I won't be doing much work on it for awhile, but it sounds like I should check out my fuses and the box contacts much better when the snow melts! The power window seems to have the circuit working, as when I try to lower it, the interior lights dim a little, so the window may just be stuck. I was about to take off the door insulation under the panel when it got cold here. I am in Saskatchewan, Canada. I do appreciate your help. Thanks
