Power to the clock, no power to the clocks lights

[ponypastor]

Trying to chase down why I have power to the console clock on 1971 Mach 1, but no power to the accompanying two lights. Solutions? Thank you.

Is your headlight switch knob pulled out? Is the dash lamp (smallest one) fuse working OK? Jiggle the blue/red wire at the 3 pin plug and see if that helps.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll have a look at it today.

This schematic came from the Forel Publications colorized wiring schematic for 1971 Mustangs.

Thanks for the correct advice and suggestions. The culprit was the small fuse. Replaced it and I have lights to the clock now. Appreciate the help.

Is the clock supposed to have a constant 12v power even with key off?

Yes - otherwise it couldn't keep correct time when the car isn't running.
