Hi all, i really hope i get to feel like a fool after someone points out how simple this fix is or were I should look to find the answer since ive been unable to find it so far.
My 1964 Barracuda with a 273 just wont start or show any signs of power to the dash or lights or anywhere. It was running fine yesterday and died right when I pulled into my parking spot luckily. I used a voltmeter to check the power to the firewall , then to the fuse box under the dash and thats where I get lost.
There are no blown fuses but only 2 of the 5 fuses have power to them. And now I noticed a red wire with a small boot on the end (looks like a spark plug boot) comming out of the fuse box and just hanging there (It is "Hot" I checked).
I think it may have popped off of the back of the instrument cluster or something but I dont know where. There is no power to the 2 fuses adjacent to the empty space in the box or the 1 farthest from the empty space in the picture ive included.
Pleeaaase help as I just recently got my motor rebuilt and this is now my daily driver. Sorry in advance for my total lack of electrical knowledge.
