Ok...In preparation to warm up the car to do my traditional burnout I drove the car outside the shop and let it warm up for a few minutes. It decided to just die. Where are my Mopar wiring experts ? I have power at battery, power at junction block, power thru the fusible link red wire. no lights, no clock, no nuthin. I can jump across at the junction block and crank the engine. Before I break my junk back playing around up under the dash anymore somebody that knows Mopars better than me should be able to tell me somewhere to check.

Did you replace the ballast resistor on the firewall? When they fry, the car will crank but not start since it is no longer getting any voltage to the points.

A fried ballast resistor will not give you the dead interior circuits though. I had a similar problem with a 70 Cuda years ago and it turned out to be the actual mating point between where the engine compartment wiring harness mates up to the firewall junction block. The built in plastic clips no longer held the female portion of the junction against the male portion of the firewall. When I jiggled the various joining sections, the power would come back on inside the car and feed the ignition switch.

All interior circuits are dead. Not even any headlights.

I would bet that it is the junction point. There are several of those bulkhead connectors that route under the brake booster area where all the harnesses feed that junction point. Start moving them around and see if you get anything inside.

Or just ship the darn thing to me. I'm almost done with Grampa's Lincoln

Charley, check that ammeter and see if it moves at all. All the power inside the dash does through that gauge. I've had a bad one and the symptoms sound identical.

Report back on that. How long was that car sitting?

Cheers
Dave

Loose wire in the bulkhead connector. I've spent alot of time on the side of the road with de-powered old Mopars.

Dan would only wear that hat if it had a Cubs logo on it.

Well...it's decided then. I've set up a GoFundMe account to buy Dan a one of a kind, customized, MoparCubbies Mullet cap!

If you're inclined to donate to this worthy cause, please log on to:
GoF-U.CappyforDanno.yenko.SuperDave.WTF.edu.org


In other news, If Charley can't get the Purple People Eater running, he's agreed to send it to me for the cost of shipping. What a guy!

Hope it's running now Sir!

Cheers
Dave
