76' kombi wiring problem
hey guys, i need ideas,
i have lost power to the ignition wire underneath the steering column. I broke into the wire here to run my accesories like oil pressure, water temp n
other gauges, n thermo fans, and now nothing!
i used the multimeter and there is no current coming from this wire when the ignition is switched on.
BUT... i can still start the engine no worries.
i have cleaned the loom connecters under indicator stalk in the case it was a bad contact but still nothing.
any help or random ideas would be great.
if i cant go any further its off to auto sparky's so they can take a weeks worth of my hard earned student wages haha
cheers guys

fuse??
that would be my first guess. This wire should come from the fuse box not direct from the ignition.
Double check all the fuses, if they are all ok, I would start tracing back up the wire to where it starts.
That is all they will do, and yes maybe for a few weeks of your wages!!
Are the fans running relays??

it was a build up of crap in the fuse slot causing a bad connection,
