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? |

You are getting lost in " OMG, what is wrong". Stop for a minute and think.
It was running before any work? If yes, then check for voltage at the coil. If there is 12 volts at terminal 15 of the coil with the connector removed, then hook it up temporarily and see what the voltage does. Stays the same or goes down some. Do this quickly or your module will not like it if it is on the closed cycle. If you are getting voltage and fuel, it should start and has nothing to do with your fuse box installation. If it does not start, you have an issue in the engine bay. It could be that your electronic ignition had an issue when the wire melted at the fuse box before your changing in the new one. Tom |
