Re: 65 Electricaal

Dave, A list from memory with some details. Are you having a battery drain going on?

Always Powered Circuits (Key Off):
1 - Headlamp/Park/Tail Lamp feed to the HL switch circuit. Red wire. Switch has internal circuit breaker for the headlamps, Park lamps Fused.
2 - Bucket Rollover circuit. Red wire. Fed to 40 Amp Circuit Breaker above left kick panel. CB output to rollover switch.
3 - Horn circuit. Horn relay internal coil+ always powered via Buss bar power from battery, activated via ground at other coil terminal. Unfused.
4 - Courtesy Lamps(3 bulbs), Glove Box Lamp, Clock, Lighter, Brake Lamp circuit. This is the "Orange" wire circuit. Fused.
5 - Battery Gauge circuit. Both terminals have power. One from Battery at starter solenoid. Other from Horn relay Buss bar. Unfused.
6 - Alternator. Red wire feed to/from Battery+ Unfused.
7 - Voltage Regulator. Red wire feed to/from Battery+ Unfused.
8 - Starter Solenoid Feed. (i.e. Battery + cable) Unfused.
9 - If RPO A31 Power Windows - Always Powered. Protected by 40 A Circuit Breaker above left kick panel

Above is the same for...
1963, 1964

1966(RPO V74 Traffic Hazard Lamps (Emergency Flasher) available) Constant power Key OFF.

The 1967 is the same with exceptions:

1 - Fusible Links at source of most of the above circuits.
2 - A31 Power Windows - Same Circuit Breaker path as previous years however not functional with Key OFF. Key ON energizes a relay above left kick panel to provide source power to the switches.
3- No RPO V74 option however Traffic Hazard Lamps (Emergency Flasher) now standard equipment. Constant power Key OFF.

But.....I may have missed something.
