headlights not working
Ok, so I couldn't get the ohm reader to work so I hooked up my vantage multimeter .
First I couldn't get anything to work using the starter as it's really tight in there. So I hooked it up to the negative on the battery cable and the black wire for the alternator.
Zero resistance, but when I wiggled the bulk head I got between 2. and 11. I'm assuming amps.
So I took the center section of the bulkhead apart first and found this black wire was fried and separated. I'm again assuming, this is a ground since it's a larger gauge black wire.
It appears that the wire into the bulkhead connector is not fried and long enough to connect these two together again.
Is this what I should be doing? connecting these together again. Or would you think there is further damage? the bulkhead connector does not appear to be burnt or melted.
