If you still use an ignition system with a ballast, there is no/ very little current there anyhow, as the "run" wire goes dead during cranking. One thing you for sure want to do, is check for voltage drop, as that run circuit is very prone, and affects charging voltage. Turn the...

I would say steering gear

Headrests

I'll tell you what might be. That black (how large what gauge?) might be a hacked feed to the "hot" buss in the fuse panel. If so, it originally came from the welded splice as I mentioned. Look on the rear of the fuse panel. There are 3 distinct separate busses. One section is...

Fuses right out of the shop manual. You can download this for free from MyMopar, and the reason that several of those are there is because of some of the guys on here I would pick a symptom and go after it.

There is no ground anywhere attached to a fuse block and NEVER assume that black is ground because it usually "ain't." You keep saying "exterior lights." Does this include headlights? stoplights? Turn signals? Park tail? Some of these come from different circuits and power sources...

DETAILS!! Year, make, model What do you mean, "exterior lighting?" Parking lights, etc? Most? All? of the exterior lighting comes through the light switch, the brake switch, and the turn signal circuit. That wire is either added or hacked. Where does the end in the fuse panel come...

YES

The VR power supply/ sensing wire is spliced to the "run" wire somewhere up there near the ballast resistor. You likely cut it out of the loop when you put the MSD in there. Hard to tell just what you did. A late model alternator (starting in 70) has what is called an isolated...

SHIRLEY it's not a 1943 Supermarine Spitfire!! AND DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY!!! Or not? a 1928 Farmall hemi powered Regular?

Might?? be for idle stop solenoid. I think they were used on some CA smoggers and also with AC. Here: https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/what-is-this-used-for-on-an-oe-340-intake.570195/

The red is a direct feed, only protected by the poor protection of the fuse link, from the battery. The black carries on through the ammeter and branches off to supply loads, then goes back through the bulkhead to the alternator. You need to at least bolt them together, AND I WOULD...

I think it just depends. If you are adding a bunch of stuff like electric fans, big pumps (and coolant), big stereo, etc, then I would for sure get into it. If it is clean and tight, run it

Just let me take this to again thank all you guys, some I missed, I'm sure. THANK you!! We now have the main floor emptied, but the walls not demolished. It is a problem getting people to show up and actually work. I've had about 4 completely flake out The basement is ?? about...

You still must check and fix the ammeter/ bulkhead connector, as both the black and red are not the conductors for power from the alternator/ battery, into the pass compartment, for power. When I say "fix ammeter" I mean if you hook them together, the red and black, make sure the...

???Thought the Dakotas were screw on clutches

WOW

Well just sayin' but you don't actually have to move it somewhere to get a good ground. Those can be problematic because of the paint/ coating. I don't know whether it's really high quality paint (epoxy?) or powder coat, or what, but they MUST be scraped to metal to get grounded. I am...

Thanks for coming back and letting us know. This is also why manuals are important, and finding out "what all" is on each fuse.

I just hold a house fire ever so often, the heat melts that "frozen white ****" right off.............

Normally when you have these symptoms AND NO headlights, it is a problem in the most basic supply circuit, the ammeter circuit. Review the MAD article and especially the simplified diagram: http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/amp-gauges.shtml Follow along in the diagram...

Is this the sender pin? Frankly I would recommend you learn how to solder. Too bad you are not "here." Anyhow, if it is the sender, that pin goes direct to the sender stud on the gauge. You COULD clip the wire back from the connector, but a butt splice on a short pigtail, and bolt...

ANY VR that is NOT "1 wire" is/ may be superior, if properly wired, for voltage regulation. This is because a properly set up modern VR with a dedicated sense wire is far more accurate for sensing

THANKS!!!

Has someone been fiddling with the wiring that you know of? Are you sure it previously worked OK? The dash indicators are dead nuts simple. The tap off the front lamps feeds, probably either at the TS switch connector or at the bulkhead connector, and simply feed up to the cluster...

Everybody says Denso, Joe, but what do you actually ASK for? What are these typically off of? -- application?

You can IF you can get the clamps on there, but that is not the normal use. What you need to do is get the problem "showing" (engine hot) and measure battery voltage or rather voltage right at the starter as the starter is trying to crank. Then apply the load tester and draw the...
