The only 2 black wires with white trace arriving around there are for Heater/AC blower (14 gauge) or Headlights switch (12 gauge)
Heater/AC wire gets power with key in RUN or ACC
Headlights switch wire is constant.
But no one of them are with a separated plug/insulator.
Is some of these...
Now I see why I recall the cigar lighter wire being pink!
Same as the second gen arrives being red, but splices from there becoming pink to feed the rest of accs from same batt network, when on 2nd gens these two wires are spliced straight from fuse
(Pic taken from an eBay 71 harness)
Washer function is part of the switch so part of the plug/harness on 72 and lates no matter if 2 or 3 speeds. I think 71s with 2 speeds wipers could still get “manual” (foot pedal) washer? Can’t recall. But still, if electric pump, would be into the wiper plug, not divorced like 2nd gens.
Thick...
My bad, just checked and you are right! X1-16R
Traced the wire on diagram up to the fuse box and is interesting The red wire splices into the same fuse clip terminal of the rest of hot circuit being pink!
I can’t recall cigar lighter connector being straight with red wire. Not at least on my 74 and pretty much the same on all. Should be angled and pink wire. Hot “bat” circuit is pink, not red.
Even less if OP says is hot with key on… should be constant
I got the 00020 unit… probably the first one sold/being used overseas. My car is on the customers ride of their website. Unfortunately my car is dissambled since 2013. Still need to get back to Venezuela to finish some of the body job and reassembly it.
The 2 years my car was in one piece with...
BTW… I don’t even care still being able to read him… is true I can learn stuff yet for some of his posts, hence I haven’t ignored him, but this attack has to be stopped and the only way is blocking him from my posts. I have even clicked agree/like some of his post along the years
(That’s what...
Yes, I try to be practical on my posts and going straight to some fix/solutions (if any), from my own point of view or even my own personal experience dealing with my car using my tools (meaning also knowledge tools too). Can I be quite often wrong? SURE, well let’s talk about but… Yes there is...
The deal here is, last reply/quote/attack was a simply non sense/no real reason. Nothing theorical or electrical discussion by itself where we can be agreed or not, but just for whatever reason. @Kern Dog is on that thread and can testify it.
Yes, I would like a total block or access to my...
An alternator won’t blown any fuse by its output. Not even by a high voltage failure. Fuses don’t blow by voltage but amperage and this is requested by the devices, not pushed in by the source. Diff stuff is an internal fail causing a short, but in that case the fail will be different.
Question… when ignoring a member, does the ignore work in both ways? I meant neither he and me read each other?
I think is enough about this guy. But is not just about me ignore him… is that I don’t even want he reads me.
This guy have no idea that I was Don’s customer buying one of the maybe last A688 units, which failed and had to get the warranty (money return) while the first HR688 came out and the ppl who got it found the HEI unit hidden down the case… being talked around 12 years ago on several boards.
Don...
being the amperes the actual force what makes to work everything, the ammeter is a straight reading of what is happening. Not saying the voltmeter doesn’t work too, but ammeter is better for that.
Let’s put it like this, with an example I like a lot to post.
3 guys pushing a car… that’s...
When the original A688 unit was out of production the HR688 unit was offered. Unfortunately was found it was an HEI unit into a fancy box. He stopped the production of those since was kinda some kind of scam for lot of ppl, then they came out with the HRR688 brand new unit which is a diff piece...
The ammeter shows the load status at the battery and, if you analize correctly, you can know where is coming the load being used and of course the alt status (after really understand the ammeter), but the gauge is PRIMARILY a batt status load reader
If discharge… all or most of the load comes...
