I am installing the new Jwwest fuse box and
I have a 3" section of wire off the #5 back row fuse that has melted insulation(grey with black stripe) what is the best way to replace and splice in the new piece and what gauge wire is correct? |

Circuit board in place with a few new connectors and a couple damaged ones replaced. I have to wait for tomorrow when I get the new battery.
No more bumping fuses out with my knee getting into the car! Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Philip W. @ Nov 5 2014, 10:21 PM)  Circuit board in place with a few new connectors and a couple damaged ones replaced. I have to wait for tomorrow when I get the new battery. No more bumping fuses out with my knee getting into the car! Well i installed a new optima battery last night, turned the key - no smoke or electrical fires so thats a good sign, checked all the circuits, fuses are all good, so no apparent shorts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) SO went to start the car, starter turns it over but it wont start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . i drove it last week before parking it and marking the wires for replacement of the board. - i have good battery connection, good wires there. ive rechecked all electrical grounds, connections to the coil(which was new 2 weeks ago) and distributor. Fuel pressure is at 30, fuel pump obviously primes so in order to check for spark what voltage should i see across the coil( i have a hotspark module not points- its same as petronixII) i can pull the injectors and put them in a jar to double check but i am sure they are firing. i just need a few tips on how to double check the coil and each plug for spark. The only other times ive had this car not start was back when i pull ed the tank and had pinced a fuel line, and the other was when the MPS was shot. -i tried both MPS's i have that hold vac and test as good. i'm at the point where i might want to try another ECU i know they rarely fail but i have read several members that have chased their tails on d-jet only to find a bad ECU. i will be working on this saturday morning- |
