    Hi everyone, first time ever trying one of these threads. Have a couple trucks and just bought a 78 Astro 95 with a NTC 290 Cummins. It has 3 stage Jakes, although the switch doesn't activate and I can get them to switch on if I run a wire to reground it somewhere else, so I realize this is a really stupid question but I've looked everywhere and cant find an owners manual. But for the life of me I cannot find the fuse box. The grounded wire runs to the amp gauge and that does not work either. So someone who has worked on these has to know where I can find this. Thanks

    @Modrod and @RD97 It has been a long time but I thank they are in the center of the dog house. First take off the cover behind the windshield divider. Then the center cover behind that. Look for something easy to access.

    It’s either embedded in the doghouse or it’s between the windshield and the doghouse I had one of those trucks years ago I can’t quite remember.

    Thank you, so I did remove that cover and when i do, it reveals the back of the cluster and switches and the wires lead to somewhere further in the doghouse, nothing looks easily accessible to remove. I am going to look at it once more later and will try to upload a picture. I just feel like once I removed it I'm at a dead end.
