interior electical

I have only spent a few minutes diagnosing the problem. In the 75 I bought in January, nothing is working on the interior of the car. Power windows, dash lights, wipers, and radio.
All of the head, marker and tail lights are working fine.
I checked the fuse block but found nothing blown.
Any ideas about where to start?

Is that a desciption I can look up in the chilton manual? Just so I know I'm looking at the right connection.
This car sat for 8 yrs or so. Is this something that happens alot?

I would like to suggest that you purchase a Chassis Service Manual and an Assembly Instruction Manual for your '75. I think you will find them both very helpful as you work through little problems on your car. They are available from many Corvette parts suppliers.
Regards,

Thats the main connector on the firewall near the steering column. All power to the inside gets there through that connector.

Order yourself a full car schematic from www.lectriclimited.com It lists every wire, harness and electrical component in the car. Plus they are laminated, so you can trace stuff with a dry erase marker.
