Worked on my 62 but had to cut the side clips off.

The ignition wasn’t on though……

I’m assuming the ballast resistor must be connected to the ignition to function properly? I’m pretty sure the line was pulled apart. What I don’t know is if it was pulled apart when the short occurred or after when i disconnected the bulkhead plug. Would it simply being unplugged cause the short...

***** So, there is a brown wire that comes from the ballast resistor to the small plug to the firewall. Inside it goes to the ignition…. Or is supposed to.. One of the loose wires I found hanging from up near the bulkhead was the brown wire from the ignition. Someone had spliced a green wire on...

Well this kind of sucks… I get OL from the pos battery cable to ground with everything disconnected from the bulkhead and everything else in the engine bay connected… I do have a number of loose wires under the dash. Some that I was aware of and have been there while everything worked - results...

Clarification, I assume this is with every thing in engine bay connected except the battery? do I check for continuity between the pos battery cable (unhooked from battery) and a ground? Am I looking for continuity or OL?

The dash gage panel was replaced. the new one had a clock so I ran a wire to the fuse box fuse for it. I also installed a oil pressure switch for the idiot light that was not there before. Battery tested good, starter worked fine on the bench. Amp meter on both gage panels tested good. I do have...

Man I am at a loss tying to find the source of my short. Took the seat out today and spent several hours under the dash sorting out wires, redoing a couple of connections. No signs anywhere under the dash of burnt wires or where anything arced. I took the old relay apart expecting (hoping) to...

FWIW, and those interested, I found that Classic Industries sells the reproductions for these for like $12. Suppose to fit 61-69’ cars. It looks right in the pictures so I ordered one. If I don’t post anything on this thread it worked ok on my car.

This is a great - simple diagram. Thanks. I will note that my car does not appear to have the fuse-able link between the relay and amp meter, unless it’s under the dash and I just haven’t seen it.

I’m a bit confused, but then again always am with electrical. My set up has the Pos battery going to the starter and the smaller red line to the relay coming off the same post on the starter. I figured that wire to the relay has to be hot coming off the starter hot terminal? The two burned...

Yea, I got corrected on that early on.

Does anyone know of a place that sells the lower, 8 prong headlight wire connector for 62-64 Plymouths? This is the plastic fitting that the front light wires snap into for connecting to the bulk head. Troubleshooting my gremlins I found this one crumbling apart and unusable.

What’s the heavy white wire on the red terminal?

I think here is unanimous agreement that I have a major short. Trouble is finding it. Did my attempt to check continuity at the amp gage show anything? Did I do it properly? I checked each post to the dash frame with all wires detached and the dash on my lap. My meter read OL on both posts - but...

The bulkhead and relay look like mine (except your wiring looks new). The dash is completely different.

Hunt2elk, any chance you could scan that entire diagram and send it to me?

Can someone help me understand what I’m looking at here. On the wiring diagram- R6 is heavy black to the bulkhead. R6A is heavy black to the amp meter. Q3 is red/wh stripe to fuse box and J1 is red to Batt on ignition switch. L1 is black to headlight switch. Is this showing a junction of all...

Tested - or tried to test continuity of the amp gage today. With the panel laying on my lap I tested between each post and the dash frame and got no continuity OL. I tested the same on the old dash and got the same results! But the amp meter on the old dash was working?? Both gages showed...

Thanks for clearing the questions Don. Hunt2, I want to try and see where that other line goes myself. I did note that in the electrical diagram that the one black line seemed to run to a junction of several other wires, one of which goes to the ignition. I’m wondering if someone simply ran one...
