With the warm weather I've spent the last few days fixing wire connections and removing extraneous wires by the PO. A couple wires have me stumped, hoping for some help from the hive mind.
#1 - I have a heavy gauge red wire that is coming off the alternator, that the previous owner spliced into and ran through the longs to the hot terminal by the fuse box.
#2 - The PO ran heavy gauge red wires through the longs to the hot terminal by the fuse box.
#3 - I bought some pilot fog lights and went to install them and saw my horns are in the way.
Once I get these hot wires figured out I'll feel safer trying to start her and get her back on the road. Thanks in advance! (IMG:http://narino.com/images/wire%20to%20alt%2001%20sm.jpg) (IMG:http://narino.com/images/wire%20to%20longs%2001%20sm.jpg) (IMG:http://narino.com/images/horns%20sm.jpg) |

A setback. After cleaning the fuse panel under the dash, I cracked one of the plastic legs off. Ughhhhhh!
I tried regluing with Tech-Bond, but it won't hold with the pressure of the wires. Anyone have a better bonding agent or method I could try? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I don't think I'll have her up and running for wcr. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
