After driving my 65 chevelle with the A/C on, (vintage air) the next day the wipers, radio, blower motor & turn signals don't work now. Those don't seem related, are they? Checked fuses, looked good, replaced the blower fuse & 2 others.

Any ideas what happened? Alternator? fuseible link? ignition switch? flasher unit?

Thanks for your help

Might check the voltage at the fuse clips on both ends of the fuses.
Sometimes a good fuse does not make a good connection to it's fuse holders.
Otherwise, I would suspect a bad connection through the ignition switch.

I FOLLOWED YOUR ADVICE & THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, A BAD CONNECTION ON A MAIN TERMINAL BEHIND THE FUSE BOX.
THANKS ALOT!
