........little to no rust car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Thought you guys might enjoy this. This is what got by me because I didn't look hard enough and took the PO's word for a car in good shape. Looks like I'll really get my wish to practice my welding skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Since I found a 2 relay block under the pass. seat with no relays and a big snipped yellow wire that had been connected to its self instead of running through the relay block.....may end up explaining my electrical issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) so off I go to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

In that glob of wires going to the relay under the pass. seat there is one that is hot with the key on. Can't remember the color. Find it and put some shrink wrap on it and seal it up. The big yellow is the starter solenoid wire. It needs to be as it is. Ripped the seat belt relay out on my '74 six conversion. Also did away with the relay board too.

Ah ha! see now this is info I need! That would explain why I found a relay wire tied in the engine bay that I couldn't explain until I pulled the fuse and had no starter. So they bypassed the relay under the seat (probably 'cuase it was getting wet!) and routed the starter wire to a safer location.........very good thank you for that! Now what is the big hot one for (who's color you don't recall)? |
