Thanks for the input. I will double check there. Unfortunately, Westies @ Watkins (a really. good. time!) happened and I was not able to trace the problem. Candles (very romantic) and battery lights all weekend. Sink pump worked, thank goodness.
I am going to yank the seat and see if there is a fuse or fusible link on the red wire going to the dash to see why there is no power to it. Lots of wires in there, wish me luck!.
BTW, Tom. I checked grounds, and they seem OK.

Hi Dave,
I think I noticed a fuse in the lead that powers my radio, which also powers my internal lights. Perhaps pull the radio and see if you cooked that wire, or if there is power there?
Good luck,
Gabby

Upon further checking, I found no power to the red wire running from the 2nd battery compartment to the back of the main fuse panel. Could I have cooked a relay? I haven't found anything like a fuse between the two yet.'
