A 1971 lincoln continental 4dr, i am getting no power inside the car mainly ignition switch, i checked battery cables, post connectors, and fusible link by battery all check out good. all fuses in fuse box good. not sure about the circuit breakers though i dont think they feed the ignition switch but cant find wiring diagrams. Well at firstblush no wiring diagram out of 3 major data bases :-( I will still see if I can find it

somewhere. I did find this note (I am not sure it applys to the problem) but worth looking at: PS- 1965 is as close as I have come to a wiring diagram so far. That may work because they did not change them much back then. I will send if you want the 1965 diagram You might want to try this link. They had a donor that gave stacks of data on the lincolons (including yours. You have to join to get the data. You might want to check it out: Basically i turn the key and nothing happens no lights turn on nothing almost as if the battery died. even stuff thats supposed to work with key off like power seat doesnt work no dome lights nothing. The problem started when i was taking apart the ash tray to find out what was wrong wit the cig. Lighter. Come to find out the cig. Lighter was never wired up and the wires were just hannging. so i preceded to install the new one but then tried to turn the key to on pos to see which wire had power (didnt have any wires connected only unplugged 2 of the lights that are in the ash tray) Sounds like the Main supply conductor has corroded and opened up. You really need a wiring schematic to figure this one out. These are the one a guy like me just do (from the seat of our pants) so to speak with a volt/ohm meter a test light and a lot of patience. I could see if I can find you a manual if you want There is a OPEN MAIN supply circuit somewhere in the vehicle. While I realize that there could be some...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
