Wiring problem 1970 coronet

[Masonmiller70]

Hi guys I’m having an issue with my 1970 dodge coronet that has a 360 with a 904 trans the car will turn over if I jump the starter relay and I have power to the ammeter but other than that I have no power to anything in the car ,ignition ,lights ect nothing at all . The disable link is good and motor will fire if I put direct power to coil but can not get any power to the ignition any ideas ?

No lights? Headlight switch is powered from the Ammeter output side, and is constantly hot - lights go on without the key. No start from the ignition - jump the starter relay ground wire after making sure the car is in park. You may have two problems.

jump the starter relay ground wire

OK, I didn't know if you were jumping the main battery and starter wires or disconnecting and jumping the ground wire to the neutral safety.

I have power to the ammeter

jump the starter relay ground wire

OK, I didn't know if you were jumping the Battery to starter wire or the ground terminal to the neutral safety. If the ammeter has power, there is a 5 way factory splice after that. It feeds the fuse box, ignition switch, lights, and to the alternator battery wire.

You may have more than one problem...

For the first issue of having to jump the starter relay, I would suggest to trace the wires that go to the bottom of the starter relay to the neutral safety switch on the transmission...

On some cars the neutral safety switch has a connector by the firewall, also check that...
