Dumb-Asprin Question on fuse panel
Have a '71 with the standard under dash fuse box - but what side is the side which goes to the electricals (switches, radio, motor, etc) versus the power side. I am guessing the side closest to the firewall/gas tank supplies the switches - but testing that side with my primitive electical tester shows that the polarity is reversed - where I would think the power should be positive (coming out of fuse block) it shows negative when I connect the positive lead to ground. Being no engineer this seems like the exact opposite.
So what I want to do is connect my newly installed electric washer pump to the fuse box (through my switch) - but which fuse on which side of the block? I am assuming I need to disconnect the battery first unless this can be done carefully.
Sorry for the lame question but if I get an answer, I promise I won't ask again.
Gracias
