Ok, I know that a lot of very knowledgeable folks have weighed in on this, but
I'm stuck on the part that "it poured" out before this all started. A wet
connection can cause all sorts of crazy electrical issues. I had this happen on
my prior Stag and I thought the electrical system was haunted. It turned out
that the water had caused a short. I found the short up by the radiator in the
lighting wires, put some shrink wrap on it and never had another gremlin. Now,
I'm not saying that the fuse block might not need attention, but it seems that
the obvious has been overlooked. Just my 2 cents worth.

Subject: [TR] TR6 electrical stuff stops
Please help with what I hope is a basic electrical question.
On the way to work today in the TR6 it started to pour. When I turned on the
blower, I lost power to the signals, gas guage, wipers and of course the
blower itself did not turn on.
Although I drive around with a box of replacement fuses, all of the fuses
look fine.
Suggestions are welcome. It would be nice to have wipers and signals for the
way home!
Thanks to all.
