73 914 just arrived - Electrical issues, No Headlights or brake lights, no power at fuse Options

[anythingaircooled]

My 73 914 just arrived from Georgia (Original color Delphi Green Metallic). I bought it site unseen and had it shipped. It was cheap and I'm a little nuts! It's a decent car that is to become a nice hotrod someday.
The first I am working on is getting the electrical issues sorted so I can drive it. The car starts, runs and drives. The following electrical problems are present.

1) No Brake lights (switch in place)
2) No headlights (they go up and down)
3) No turn Signals

I do have all running lights working with the headlight switch on. tail lights, side markers, and front lights. I have no power at fuses 1 through 5 and new fuses in place. When I dropped the fuse box everything looked ok with the exception of a light blue wire cut from the last position far right. Still have power there. Looking for some advice on where to start hunting down the issues.
Thanks
Steve

I agree that the white plastic ignition switch can cause all sorts of problems for various different fused circuits. My problem was not solved with multiple new switches but by getting the year correct ignition chamber that the switch goes in. The key tumbler mechanism pushes the center part of the switch incorrectly. Also, there are multiple, four I think red wires off the positive battery terminal that feed different electrical fused circuits at the fuse panel. Check all these connections at the positive battery terminal to get power to all your fuses. Clean all ground connections all over the car to restore full voltage at the actual light and motor loads. And get the right wiring diagram for your year of car, available at AA or Jeff bowls you ate! Good luck and have fun!
