Electrical problems - need help. (1 Viewer)

I was having some problems with my stereo in my '74 40, so I climbed in to take a look at the wiring. Since then, I've encountered another problem - Anything that was a positive lead, when tested with a diode tester (audible) tests as being shorted to ground, switched power and non-switched power. Would this point to an issue with ingition?

Thanks!

Did you disconnect the batt(s) before you tested? You may try pulling your fuses and replacing one at a time and see if you can narrow down the circuit that is causing problems.

Thanks Bret, I've got the battery disconnected and I can get it to buzz when I measure across the pos and neg cable. Good thought on the fuses. I'll give that a try!
