83 tb 5.0 electrical questions

ignition wire on starter solenoid not getting 12v, I have it at the column (hot when in crank mode with key).  I think there is a plug in between somewhere?

dash lights, clock light, ash tray light, and a/c control not getting 12v at the bulb plug

Blinkers not coming on when turned on

Acc 12v where radio goes does not have 12v

I check power spots in the fuse holder, look good on both sides of fues

I have power for low beam and high beam, tail lights, brake lights, hazards, cigarette lighter plug, and clock works.

Just curious if I missing a main plug or ground somewhere?

I did take out the column from the 84tb v6 car and put in for the tilt steering, plugs plugged right in.

Sounds like stuff isn't connected at the fender solenoid/junction.  When converting to a PMGR starter, you still need to keep it.  I wont bore you with the details of the procedure, as I'm sure you did your research.

I think I see what fender plug your talking about (3rd pic), but I have a set of other plugs on the driver side that are not plugged to anything. (2nd pic)
and (blue wire going for horn?)

I have a slim rectangle plug over by the passenger slide that I thought went to the voltage regulator. (1st pic)

Please keep in mind on the pictures, that the wire are tuck in side finders.

update, that worked tom, thanks

I took out the light switch, it was all corroded up, so I cleaned the one I had from parts car and made sure to use contact cleaner and made the spring and contacts clean.  Now I have 12v from the light switch and it dims my test light.  but I don't have power at the bulbs, so I jump a wire from the cigarette light constant 12v and the light works, not sure where from there.

Blinkers are now working

No 12v acc at radio
