Dash EL Inverter Locations

[pattypape]

Sorry Curt,

I did not trace the circuit, nor did I need to find a fuse or
circuit breaker. Start by looking at the master electrical drawing
for your 87 8v.
The EL, AC wireing on our 88 is color coded solid black and solid
green. These wires are heavier than expected and really stiff.
You may have a loose connection, BB also used those push-on
connectors and splice connectors that sometimes become loose.
I hard wired to the new inverters to eliminate some of these
troublesome contact connections.
