Hello. Just bought a '28 Roadster. Worked great for a few days. Did the normal routine maintenance including all fluids, timing, points, plugs, etc. Now she has no lights, horn, etc. but will crank away.Would sure appreciated suggestions. Own a test light but don't know much about electrical. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks! Dave

Does it have a fuze? Power to the starter doesn't go though the fuze.

Also you posted in a forum intended for questions "To The Editors". Leave it here but also post here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3

If it has a fuse replace it or clean contact ends with emery paper.
