according to Bentley's PG 488 diagram) circuit of my USA-spec '76 TR6's
fuse box has ceased functioning.  This includes my windshield wipers,
turn signals, brake lights, heater fan, fuel level indicator, and
temperature gauge, etc.  The problem first manifested itself a year ago
as an intermittent issue that would disappear before I could locate the
problem, but it is now the normal state of affairs.  I've cleaned every
contact and connector on my 10-year old wiring harness that I can get
at, and verified every fuse to no avail.  Any tips from the pros?

Bryce, all these things are served by the same fuse and it is possible that
the fuse holder clips have corroded to the point that you no longer have
reliable connection to the fuse.  It's happened to me.  A new(er) fuse
block cured the problem for me.

Good luck

Dave
