It should be on the inside firewall on the same small horizontal strip board as the ballast resistor up over the steering colume ken ct.

With respect, on '32s (late Model Bs and all but very early V8s) the fuse block is separately mounted and it is not on the firewall, but rather on the inside of the left "leg" supporting the instrument panel. Most Model Bs and very early '32 V8s did not have a fuse block for the lamp circuitry.

In addition to the stock fuses it is possible that someone spliced an inline fuse into the wiring. Check for this possibility. Charlie Stephens

Check all your bullet connectors that tie the harnesses together. New ones are historically loose fitting. One or more could be disconnected and might be your problem..

I found a 5 amp blade fuse under the dash that came from the top of the steering colum It looked good but I replaced it anyway and still no lights I think something may have gotten wet when I washed the car ???

What do you call a blade fuse. Should be a glass old time type of fuse of around 20 amps. ken ct. sounds like something that was added.??
