There seems to be no current reaching the fuse panel. The radio and heater fan work fine when attached to a 12 volt source--not when attached to the fuse panel. All fuses new and replaced. All electrican components that work look to be attached to the light switch or the ignition switch. I have an electrical diagram, but do not see where the power comes to the fuse panel. Ideas???

the power comes from the light switch (unswitched) or the ignition switch (switched) i believe... do your headlights work? if so power is getting that far. Unless someone monkeyed with the wiring which is also certainly possible

on the diagram, just to the right of the "front of dash" line, there is a dotted square labeled "acc jct block", that's the fuse panel [accessory] - 2 wires to the light sw, one to the ign sw, see here RPO987616 - offhand I'd say the pink one to the ign sw gives power for the switched accessories, the red wire to the light sw is power for "always on" things

The pink, gray and red wires are attached to the junction box as the diagram shows. So, I will have to trace the red and gray to the light switch as well as the pink to the ignition switch to check for connection. The lights and blinkers work as always on. Thanks Bill

make sure all the connectors are making good contact, the push on type can get a bit of oxidization that will open the circuit

Found it---like most stuff, I guess, if you look long enough you can stumble on the problem. Pink wire not connected to ignition switch. Problem solved-heater fan and radio work with ignition on, as it should be. Thanks for the suggestions.
