Fuel and Temp gauge No power?

[bmglide03]

I have searched and read many threads about testing fuel gauge troubles. My problem is that there is no power at the fuse for those gauges. From where does the power enter the fuse block and has any one experienced and resolved this problem before? I also have no power to the fuse for the blower motor. Those fuses are located adjacent and I am guessing it is related. The other fuses are getting power and these are the only 2 that are not.

Their not related as wiring goes.
Did you use a test light?
Did you check both sides?
Key on?
Did you clean the contacts to shinny metal?

Thanks for the link, lots of more in depth info than I have seen. I know that I m not getting 12 V to the gauge through the I connector.

Working on this for a friend of mine. He said he replaced the entire housing a few years ago and it hasn't worked for about a year. I asked him about the blower motor and he said he didn't know how long that has been out because he never uses it.

I removed the fuse block from the engine compartment side and cleaned the connectors. I am going to remove it from the inside and see what I find.
