It's fixed and I feel like a dumba**. The fuse box was laid out
differently than the diagram that Garth posted. I replaced the fuse
that I thought it was (going by location) but it was the wrong one.
This morning I started back to work on it and first thought to check the
fuse again. I noticed that the slot numbered 16 was on the other side
of the box. Pulled that fuse and sure enough it was blown.
Thanks for all the help and the quick replies. I found this newsgroup
by searching online at some of the Mustang forums. My first car was a
72 Mach 1 (shoulda had my butt kicked for ever getting rid of that car)
and this 90 LX 5.0 hatchback is my son's first car. Sure am glad I
found this group as we have plans to rebuild the engine in it soon. Of
course he wants a rompin' stompin' Stang and his mom wants him to have a
Yugo. I'm looking at something closer to a mild build of the stock motor.
Thanks again for all the help,
Ron
