I tested the battery tonight and its putting out a charge. The ABM from what I can tell, has a new engine harness, MSD, JWest fuse panel, a blasted interior, H4s with relays, and a newerish stock board.
With nothing "on", hooking up the battery seems to "arc" the front headlight motors, or something up front. Transmission ground is on, battery (-) is ground, front turn signal grounds are attached. Nothing at the ignition, although with light switch "on" no "arc" but no light. Ignition switch seems loose. Wiper handle is very loose. I bought a color diagram, but I'm color blind. Is there a method to trace electricity step by step from the battery out through the harness, into the dash, and out to the lights? I need to get this ABM on the road! |

The 4 red wires (some have 5) connected to the positive battery terminal are the unfused circuits. One goes to the ignition switch. One goes to the fuse panel. One goes to the relay board (some have 2) and one to the alternator.
I think Tom was selling an add on fuse panel for this location. If you fuse these near the battery (within 18 inches) you will be safe. |
