1959 Electrical Problem

[Wayne L.]

While performing operations checks on a 59, several lights quit working: courtesy lights, brake lights, rear tail lights, rear license lights, and all of the instrument panel lights. All four of the turn signal lights still work as do the turn indicators in the dash. Headlights, high beam indicator, front parking lights, radio, heater, horns, and wipers all still work. I would appreciate comments from someone who has had a similar problem, or ideas of where to start to correct this problem. Thanks, Wayne

The fuse most likley. All are on the same circuit.

Could also be grounding issues...

Wayne-thanks. All the fuses check okay. I got all the lights to work by fiddling with the fuse block.
