Problem solved.

It's amazing how consulting the wiring diagram can help solve electrical problems (duh!). After fiddlling with the connections at the fuse panel for a couple of nights, I went to the Wiki site and looked at the PDF of the wiring. There was a common power supply that was effecting the systems that were down and when I jumped the headlight power independantly, I could hear the relays working and the lights powered. Since the wires themselves rarely cause a problem as they are protected most of the way, it had to be either the fusable links or a 'connection' somewhere. The fusable links tested OK so I removed the batterries as the diagram showed a connection somewhere after this. As luck would have it, there is a connection after the links and before the wires exit the battery bay. There was my cooked connector. I jumped it and the systems powered up.

So easy when you look back at it. 20/20 hindsight is great!

Thanks for all the help.

Connector melted and had to be sacrificed!

Nice work in completing the post warmland! If we all completed these, this forum would be even more useful than it is now.
