Need help w/electrical problem - '83 Spider

["Bill Bain" <bill_bain@domain.elided>]

My trusty Spider (still my daily driver because the $#%*&% Honda Accord is 
still in the shop) has developed a minor electrical problem and I turn to 
the collective wisdom for help.

My radio, windshield washer and the console lights (small light over heater 
controls, light in heater fan switch) have quit.  If I read the wiring 
diagram in the manual, all those appear to be on fuses 5 and 6.  I've 
replaced those fuses to no avail, even though the originals did not appear 
to be blown.  So my questions:

1.  How do you test to see if there is voltage at the fuse?  It strikes me 
that since the wipers work, and they're on fuse 6, there may be, but I don't 
want to do something stupid, particularly since this is now my daily driver.

At some point, all those functions seem to be controlled by the column 
switch.  THe headlights work fine, and those are the usual culprits, but any 
thoughts would be welcome!
