On the bright side I'm getting the best gas milage since buying this 67 wagon but have now blew 2 25amp fuses in a row. I have one more spare left, where should I start loking for the problem. Anything I should eliminate right off the start?

On the way home from work I stopped to take some pic's, all the way there things were fine. Once back in the car, no fan, wipers or signals and the gas guage goes dead only if I turn on one of the other dash accessories . After I checked the fuse box I saw the small 25amp one was toast, obviously something is shorting out and blowing it. All the way home the amp light glowed about half bright and full on if I tried to use any of the signals etc.

What else is hooked to that fuse? I hate dealing with electrical issues, not my strong point but I'd like to trouble shoot it myself if possible. Going to get an in line fuse holder and newer 25amp fuses for now I guess.

Any help is welcome.

Chris
