I bought a '56 Crown Victoria a little over a year ago.  The restoration was great paint and sheet metal wise.  Playing with a spotlight it suddenly went out, like I blew a fuse.  After that the radio, signal lights, wipers, gauges, brake lights, tail lights, and maybe a few more items I don't know about also does not work.

The previous owner said he redid every wire in the car.  He did not make a schematic.  I just spent 4-5 hours trying to find a blown fuse.  I found 3 total and all were good. 

The good news is it starts and runs and the horn works. 

Anyone have some good suggestions on tracing wiring....
