My 1948 chevy fleetline has an electrical terminal block on each side of the inner fenders. I disconected them to paint the inner fenders. Putting the wires back in I put a multi tester on the block and they do not carry any electricity to the other connections. What are they for?

Was the truck modified before? Did you take a picture before you tore it apart to see what wires go where? The blocks are there for headlights and other accessories to hook up to maybe the generator horn etc. Good luck on finding info

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I labeled the wires prior. A multi tester does not show current from one terminal to the other. Should there b continuity thru all of the terminals? There was not a lead that jumped connecting them all

Some wires may not show any power due to having key off. unless you can realyfind a diagram to where things go you are kind of in never land or guessing. the only way you can find continuity is to where they lead to. here I found this on line maybe it will help if the wiring diagram Is stockhttp://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/electrical/wiring/pdf/48truck.pdf
