Electrical System Flunked
WHAT ARE we workin on? Year/ make model? 73? 74?
This is gonna be difficult or impossible to troubleshoot by remote control, because that wiring is one hell of a mess and all hacked up, obviously. Please post a link to your old thread.
Start with the horrid battery terminals. The path for power into the car to run basic stuff like headlights, dome light and ignition switch is:
battery...............starter relay 'big stud'............fuse link...........through the bulkhead connector on the big RED wire...........to the ammeter.........through the ammeter and out on the big BLACK wire.........to the under-dash welded splice..........and branch off to the alternator, the ignition switch, the headlight switch, and the fuse panel "hot" buss
READ the MAD article as it covers primary power distro
Catalog
...........and that article contains a nice simplified diagram of primary power. You would do well to learn and memorize that diagram
NOTICE!!! that other than the fuse link---which is darn poor protection---NONE OF THIS part of the harness is FUSED!!!! (You can burn stuff down!!)
Go to MyMopar and download yourself a service manual and then download the 3rd party wiring diagrams from that site, as well
