Fried wiring

Steve Mcbean said
Hi fellas. I havent been here in a while, since my car was in the shop for upgrades for 16 long *** months. I got the car back with nice upgrades, but also more problems than before. For one, there was a short somewhere under the dash and the car wouldnt start without wiggling group of wiring under the dash, so I called a mobile mechanic here in San Antonio, and this guy wound up melting several wires, including wiring to the alternator. So, he offered to replace the wiring with new, for a fee of course, but at last minute he cancelled and still owes me the deposit. I have had nothing but bad luck with one unscrupulous mechanic after another. Anyhow, my question is two:
1. Anyone know a Mopar mechanic that does house calls in San Antonio?
2. Any suggestions for rewiring these burnt wires for my 71 Demon?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry to hear about your "adventures". These cars are now 50 years old and have had a lot of different hands in the pie. I bought mine back in November and found a lot of strange electrical issues. Replaced the under dash wiring harness which resolved a lot. When I pulled the instrument cluster I found someone had been in there and "made some things work". Had to replace the rallye circuit boards to fix that. Replaced switches, etc. All of this is pretty easily done by anyone with basic aptitude, but you already have an understanding of electrical principles. You may need to replace some harnesses like I did, but it will just take some bucko's and time to get it done. A big deal for my car was the under dash harness because it came with a new firewall electrical block. The old one was full of corroded & melted connectors. This will be a labor of love, so take your time, do your research, read the FSM, open your wallet and you'll be fine!
