Part of your problem led me to find something wrong with mine wich has not led any help to my electrical issue. Ugh my fuse hanging from my junction block blew, swapped it and theres no heater fan. So now ive got no cig lighter, no clock, no blower function and a backwards working dome light. And no legit reason found...:mad3::suicide:

Believe my brother found the cause of all my problems. Past, and present. Would a bad starter wire cause charging issues? That tube they are in was just moving around, allowing them to burn on the header.

So brother came back, taped up the burnt harness wires. Just ran those two reds to the junction box. He jumped the starter, and off she went.

He revd it for me. I wasn't able to get the porch.

So more fusible links, push button, new wire, and new starter wire.

Should be good to go. She sounded damn good.

Gotta get all that stuff mentioned, then put back together.

Finally something went my way!!!!!!

No telling how long that starter wire was like that, would y'all check timing, tps, and all that?

I would personally, but its my brother, dont wanna put more on him than necessary.

But when I am able I just wanna turn the key and go. Lol

She went around the block and I could hear her the whole way. She misses drowning out four bangers. Big, loud, ugly. Bertha is a monster that hates being caged.

Hopen to unleash her asap!

Almost makes me wanna pop a bunch of pills and go for a drive. LOL

So I got myself extra riled up today, went and finished the wiring, and put it all back together.

Took her out. She does not like the timing from the pre burnt wires. Timing, tps, all that next.

But she went out on her own, and made it back.
