I had a small fire right behind the speedo. Some wires had their plastic covering melted together. So I replaced wires (with same colors or as close as possible). I tried to do the wires one by one, reattaching them as I went along.
Now that I think I'm done, I am replacing fuses one at a time. I replaced the first 4 which are for taillights, side markers etc. Shouldn't they work or is another fuse required to get power to them?
In general, as I replace fuses, whatever is on that circuit should work, right?

Re: Rewiring & fuse help
Well, yeah - provided that there's power getting to the "hot" side of the fuses.
`71 and later cars all have an "X-terminal" ignition switch and a lighting switch with two separate inputs - the headlamp part of the switch gets power from the igniton switch, while the tail/parking light part of the switch gets power from Term 30 (unswitched, hot all the time).
