Default 76 Cig, Clock, Ammeter circuit issues

Hey all,

Been wanting to get my ammeter working just for QoL, as well as powering my cig lighter for an eventual conversion to a 12v socket. I am aware of the constant issues that plague the clock and its very likely that its busted.

Ended up doing step one and replacing the 20A fuze. Nothing.

Unfortunately im not at home and I dont have my wiring diagram on hand since its on paper. Curious if anybody else had a similar hidden issue or any tips while im brainstorming? Any additional tips for converting the cig lighter?

Can you verify both sides of the fuse has +12V. Also, do the courtesy lights still work?
