I like to solve puzzles, real world puzzles but I'm looking for someone with more electrical ability than me can help out.
I've had lots of corrosion issues but this is something different. The 12 volt fuse panel but after cleaning, fuse number 8 blows intently. It is labeled floor lighting but my floor lighting is working. It could be a swap of wires but no matter. That circuit blows fuses. A continuity test says that leg is not shorted to ground but still blows fuses.
More evidence, no porch light, no power at the switch. No lights in the bathroom. John L. recently suggested a bad ground in the overhead light but I haven't been able to check yet. All light fixtures are upgraded recently. I just bought this a month ago and is otherwise, a cream puff. Shows lots of evidence of pride of ownership . . . like most of us.
I'm sure there is more than one issue. Multiple problems are harder to diagnose but I'm sure one of you guys have had a similar problem or are just smarter than me. OK, no jokes. One more piece of info. I've owned a 1975 Palm Beach and a 1976 Palm Beach but this 1974 has a moulded roof panel in the hall between the bathroom and the closet that I have never seen before. Is this factory? It does not look too hard to drop but I'm waiting for the next day off Friday. Another clue, installed with square drive screws, although they may be replacements.
OK, you electrical detectives and GMC know it alls (in a good way), what is your prognosis?
