tcslr Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 car starts fine. brake light works fine. While I was diagnosing possible ground issue on front right headlight, both headlamps, running lights, instrument panel lights and carriage lights went out. Can someone provide cues on where the problem might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Is there a fuse on the backside of the amp gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Because all the lights went out at the same time most likely you shorted out your headlight and blew the fuse. Now you just have to find the fuse. Looks like the 1928 and 1932 wiring are almost identical. According to the print the fuse should be on the back side of the headlight switch. Good Luck! http://automotivewiringdiagrams.net/auto-diagrams/2012/02/wiring-diagram-of-1928-chevrolet-motor-cars-national-series-a-b.jpg PS make sure your headlight is not still shorted out it will take out the new fuse.

Chris Coon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think the fuse is in the head light switch as Graham Man stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcslr Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 I found the problem. The two contacts in the female section are spring loaded. one of the contacts popped/moved out of position. When the bulb was installed ( bayonet) it appears to have made contact with the outer/grounded socket. Thanks all. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
