So....I put a battery charger on the car (not that it caused the problem, just trying to cover all details)....car started, but now nothing on my Ignition 2 circuit is working (wipers, blower, A/C, etc.)....fuses are fine...any ideas???? Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated!!! Mike

 

Did you check the fusible links on the drivers side shock tower?

 

KCREPU I thought of that...but looking at the schematics Ignition Circuit 1 runs off the same fusible link and those functions work fine....I would think the link is either good or bad (no intermittent)...right now, I am looking at the ignition switch where the two circuits starts (IGN 1 and IGN 2)...I really don't want to tackle that animal unless I am pretty sure that is the problem...your thoughts?

 

The ignition switch is a common failure point after 40 years of use. it would be easy to test without removing it.

 

KCREPUB just want to says thanks for your inputs.....as it turns out, I pulled all the fuses, read them out (they were all good) and put them back in their PROPER positions (the previous owner had all the wrong fuses in the wrong positions)(don't think that fixed anything). I then started the car and low and behold, everything works as advertised!!! Definitely a case of "PFM" (Pure Freaking Magic).

 

I had the same problem with my 79 SA. I found out the factory fuse block had some corrosion. I could wiggle it around and it would all work again, then would stop randomly. I cleaned everything and polished up the fuse clip connections and problem solved. After all that, I just removed it a few months later and installed my own fuse block.
