Question
Hi Vern, hope you can help. My good friend recently gave me a 1967 caddie convertible to tinker with. It's in great shape but needs some work. Anyway, I changed some fuses in the slide down fuse box under the dash, (one fuse blew) and now the car is dead. No sound at all when I turn key. What happened?
Hi Guy:
Not sure what happen. Are you saying all the fuse currently in the box are good? If so, double-check the battery and make sure it just didn't go dead on you. There is a fuse that control the ignition, so check to make sure it isn't on a separate wire running under the steering column.

Visit my website at: http://www.classytransportation.com/ I can answer most questions about autos built in the 60's 70's and 80's. Specifically, Lincolns, Rolls Royces and the Excaliburs.

Keep in mind, I can only provide answers if the questions are very specific and complete. Without details, I can only speculate and that's not good for solving your problem.

I have researched these cars in quite a bit of detail and can pretty much tell you what is wrong, if you can describe the behavior in detail. I have saved quite a few RR owners a lot of money and aggravation due to improper diagnosis.
