65 - no dash lights

65 Dart, all stock, slant 6. Electrical things that did not work:

1) left blinker indicator bulb.
2) dash lights.

Solved the blinker bulb issue. the bulb holder was a little loose. one tweak, on she went.

Dash lights. noticed the fuse was burnt out. replaced the fuse, checked for power across it. Yes. I have power, but no lights. Then I put my finger on the glass fuse, YIKES! pretty darn hot.

Obviously I have a short somewhere. But where? every other electrical bit works perfectly. Somewhere on the trace is my guess......

I decided to leave the fuse out and live with it for now.

BTW: just completed all the electical "mods". Headlight relays, B+ jumper, stereo install and adding a voltmeter (under dash). All is A-ok except for the dash lights. Even the cigar lighter works!!!!
