how many amp do you think they would be?

take the fuse out, look at the number on it.. find a replacement.

if you're getting nothing you have most likely blown the main fuse.
in the fuse box there are a couple of expased fuses...not the little plastic ones. they just look like strips of metal between 2 terminals. those are your main fuses.
pretty sure one of them will be blown.
cant remember the fuse amparage...been 2 years since i ownes a 86 lude and it wasnt on the road for the last year i had it. so 3 years since i had to work on one. :(
