I have a 1972 Bronco, 302. Inside the fuse box,located in the glove gox, the fuses do nothing. I removed all of them. I disconected the ele plug near the voltage regulator so no power goes thru fire wall. I tested the wires on the back of the fuse box on the black/yellow and did not expect to have power but I have 12 volts on the black/yellow even though it is disconnected near the voltage regulator. The wipers, dash voltage regulator and heater work when the switch is on with no fuses. There is a med sized red wire hanging down bout 8", near the steering column. It comes out of the cluster of wires coming from the passenger side, drops down about 8" and goes back in the cluster. Just a loop. It has a black like insulation tube around it.This gets very warm not hot. I can hold onto it. My purpose is get my blinkers to work. I replaced the blinker cube. It has 12 volts coming in and going out of the cube without turing on the signal switch. Some how it appears power is getting to the key switch from the battery and then "back flushes" power to the black/yellow wire at the fuse box. What is strange is it supplies power to everything without going thru the fuse box fuses. When I put the fuses in there isn't any change. I am looking at the diagram by painlessperformance but don't know what to disconnect to help in the diagnostics. https://www.painlessperformance.com/Manuals/10114.pdf
