Don't have a Manual in front of me to tell you (your should get one. Even owners manul MIGHT tell you.)

But I see lots of evidence of bad things in your pic like wires over fuses and cheapo connectors. Bad ju-ju.

Hello,I also have a 73 New Yorker and the owners manual denotes that fuse 1 is for lamps, hot cold, brakes, oil pressure and seat belt with buzzer. Send me an email and I'll try to take picture of page and send it to you.

Somebody bypassed the factory wiring with a rig-job (the black wire that came off). They were probably blowing that No. 1 fuse. You need to obtain the factory wiring diagram and trace down the cause of the blown fuse. Restore to original condition and remove those half-*** unreliable (and dangerous) short cuts.
