Hard to read what you wrote due to not using punctuation. So proof reading what you write before you post it so it makes sense.

The fuse panel gets power from the starter solenoid that goes over to your horn relay...then from horn relay it goes in your dash area through the bulkhead connector.....and one wire will go directly to your fuse panel and one goes to your ignition switch on the steering column. So when you turn your key ON ...it powers up circuits that only work when th key is on. So it all depends on what circuit you are having a problem with.

DO you have a wiring diagram...if not...it is wise to get a GOOD one.
