85' TA info(newby here)

Ok, I bought an 85 TA with a 305 V8, complete with T-tops, A/C, and powered mirrors and windows. (Sorry if my wording isnt correct on engine type stuff,

lol) It was by lighting a year ago and now the electrical system is understandable screwed up. One fuse in particular is the 30 amp that controls the lighter, mirrors and trunk. It keeps blowing out.
Someone had told me that the 85 didn't even come factory with powered mirrors. Any ideas?? I also was wondering if anyone knew online where to order parts and accessery catalogues for my TA??
Any tips, hints, and suggestions are eagerly accepted. I want my car to run normally.

Thanks to whoever can help:hail:

The ACC fuse going out is sometimes common. There is usually something shorting it out like the lighter. In 85 there was power mirrors, you should know if your car has them. There are places to order things like www.classicindustries.com and www.nextgenparts.com and some others too like our sponsors. Performance things are usually bought through JEG's and Summit.
