AK Cutlass

No 12V power to underhood light in my 68 Cutlass. The light works as it should when connected directly to the battery and all the other stuff on that fuse works.So, is there a connector involved somewhere that I can check? Or is it a bad wire that disappears down somewhere into a huge harness?

I am not sure of the operation on a 68, but did you try with the parking lights turned on?

The under hood light is only powered if the headlight switch is on. This prevents running the battery down if you leave the hood up during a lengthy repair.

Good idea I will try the parking lights/headlights on. I couldn't figure it out from the wiring diagram.Thanks for the help. I'm still learning about this great car.
