I only had a minute at lunch to take a look at this, but with the field unplugged at the alternator and a number 6 wire connected from the positive side of the alternator to the positive side of the battery, I'm still not getting much in terms of a charge; 12.17, and not much more when I give it...
I have about a week before I'll need to put my 67 Charger 440 in storage and and there's something that's been bothering me that I'd like to sort out before I do this. I have yet to see a charge greater than 12.37v out of my alternator.
Before I acquired the car it was retrofitted with a...
I've been working on my 67/440 charger and things have been going pretty well. Mostly.
Background: This is a relatively unmolested car I picked up from a friend and it had been sitting for 27 years. I replaced the fuel system, plugs, wires, and did the normal gentle revival. No drama. The car...
...and they work. Not closing seemed to have to do with the "manual headlight open" switch. It was set to off and had to be jiggled to allow them to close. This was a long, goofy session but at least things work. I'll take that and be done.
After buttoning up after that last stunt the headlights now lit up and motors opened, but now don't close. That's an improvement that tells me I may need to check my relay connections.
Everything was reconnected and I'm checking connections back at the relays.

I'm coming at this as a novice so the schematic isn't...
Good observations all around, thanks.
I cleaned that connector (wasn't too dirty, pins looked solid) and pressed it back together snug.
Tried my work, no change.
Okay. I jumpered one and then both upper limit switches. Still no luck. Attaching pics to confirm I've jumpered the right things!
I kind of hate reposting questions that get asked a lot but here we go.
My headlight motor problem on my 67 Charger matches a trouble shooting doc I'm using exactly. The doc;

Sometimes I make things harder than they need to be.
For anyone else that may be on the search, the Napa breaker came with a bracket (just had to bend it )
I've been scouting around for a replacement circuit breaker for my headlight motors (67 Charger). Can someone share a part number or let me know if there's a modern replacement part?
Thanks!
