QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Jun 7 2019, 05:18 PM)  Somewhere in the nest of wires pictured. It's a short wire. I'd clean the area up, wipe down wires, before I went any further. If nothing else it will make the task more pleasant. Thanks. |

QUOTE(cooper951 @ Jun 7 2019, 05:03 PM) QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Jun 7 2019, 04:58 PM) Look for a stray small brown wire. It should attach directly to the chassis. Thanks. Any idea on location? Cabin? Engine compartment. I cleaned things up a bit, and found a small brown wire with a yellow stripe. I also found a small connector clip, and some other wires at the bottom of the pic that aren't attached to anything, plus some sets with push on plastic connectors, which were also unconnected. Is that small brown wire the one you were talking about. I can't find anywhere that it should connect to. Once again both pics should be rotated 90 degrees to the right. Sorry. Attached image(s)

This is the brown ground wire on my '74 2.0. It attaches to the body. When I disconnect, engine cranks but no start.

Where does the other end of the brown wire attach to? Mine won't crank at all. You can hear the fuel pump, but nothing at all from the starter. |

A bit embarrassed to admit it, but I installed a Bosch Hot Start Kit a few years back, and I thought that something might be malfunctioning on it. There is an inline fuse on it, the fuse was blown. Switched out the fuse, and it started right up. Don't know why it happened, but will keep tabs on it. At least she is running again.
