Jumped in the 66 today to drive around. At first I thought the battery was dead since the under dash lights/console courtesy light did not illuminate. Started right up though. Lights don't light up when I fully rotate the light switch either. Got the schematic out and looked around. I can see how the lights can get power from the light switch or the door jamb switch. Do they both get power from the same fuse. If so, which one? I think the fuse is the problem, since I doubt both door switches/light switch/all the grounds would give out all at the same time. Thanks in advance.

No matter what, the courtesy lights go through the same fuse. It is an extremely small one pretty much in the center of the fuse panel. Here is a picture. It is circled in yellow.

Thanks. That should be fun to get out.

Oh yeah, loads. Instead of having that little short one, mine for some reason has 2 medium lenght (maybe half inch) fuses clipped together at one end, and then the other ends each clip into one of the different metal clips that the fuse into the fuse panel.

There must be 'ghost in the machine.' I had posted the original note at work. Went out at 6 am to go home, thinking I'd have no dash lights to drive home. Started the car and hit the lights. I had dash lights but no under dash lights. Hmm. Sat there about 30 seconds thinking about it, what do you know, the dash lights came on. It's a Christmas miracle.
