So I have discovered the problem, not the switch or fuse panel, the connector plug to the back of the switch, it looks like some corrosion developed at the ACC. post on the switch and caused the wire to heat up and melt the plug thus a bad connection, so now my search is on for a replacement plug or a small pigtail to replace the burnt wires. Does anyone have one?

More likely to be the ignition switch itself or the connections at the switch. Sounds like the accessory terminal on the switch is not providing 12 volts when the switch is on.

My thoughts now are split between the ignition switch and the fuse block, at this point having tested most of the wires coming and going to the fuse block I do not have power running from the switch to the block..thinking now a new switch is needed...thoughts?

Might be the fuse block. When I had a 67 Marlin and it rained hard water from the cowl would drip on the fuse block.

Thanks for the diagram, I have one from my 67 TSM and have traced the curcuits, could not find a radio diagram in mine either.

George,
You are correct, no wipers or heater blower, along with radio , back up lights or turn signals. guess its time to pull the switch and clean the terminals. Thanks |

I found this off matt's old cars, it's a diagram for a '66
Unfortunately no radio is listed, you don't have a pic of yours do you? |

How about the heater fan or wipers, do they run ? You may have a connection or oxidation problem at the ignition switch. You may need to just clean terminals or contacts. Sounds like you lost accessory power which passes through a portion of the ignition switch.

Yes, there is no power to the fuse, the fuse is good, the 67 Marlin would be the same as an Ambassador or Rebel. but I would think this issue could be any model or year...thanks

I'm not familiar with your wiring set up on that car but I'm assuming it's similar to mine. When you say nothing, do you mean fuse is fine and still no power to the panel?
