Ok, ok... so I'm really a dope!
Where the hell is the fuse box in my '79?
My radio, horn and power locks stopped working shortly after I started the engine this morning. I'm hoping it's just the fuse.
But I can't find the stupid box! I have the owner's manual, but even that doesn't tell me where it is. It just tells me what AMP fuse to use for things. In fact, it doesn't even mention the horn or power locks!
HELP!

Drivers side inside on the fire wall. You have to stoop down and look under the dash. That's where my 77 is I believe the 79 is the same. Chuck

Yeah what he said!! It can be real pain if you have to reach up there for a while. There's just not enough room.

I just found it.
It was the fuse (thank god!)
And you're right, it was up on the firewall where the driver's left foot goes.
What a pain in the butt to get to. Not only that, but of course most of the label are illegible. Fortunately, I had a test light in my car and was able to find the one that was bad fairly quick.
Thanks for the help!
