Last, starting a new thread "cold" is not necessarily a good idea. We have no idea without digging around for the old thread(s) what you have done, whether it's been re-wired, or hacked, or what you have tried, checked and replaced.

If you examine your (darn poor) circuit diagram, notice the top lamp in the drawing, wire L9-18BK. This means wire no. L9, it is no. 18 gauge, and BlacK. Notice the eyelet connector pictured next to the lamp. That is the ground. L3-18R going to Y of the connector and L4-18BK...

The headlight circuit is dead nuts simple. The headlight switch has TWO power sources. The headlights ONLY are powered from a tap off the "welded splice" in the ammeter circuit, to a built in breaker in the switch. With the light switch full on, it feeds headlights power out of the...

I would have simplified this greatly, and added, that the car's alternator makes AC INTERNALLY in the alternator. An alternator normally does not output anything except DC. That is, simply and practically speaking. The too large vs stock alternator is a danger to stock wiring, and...

You normally do not want the 60A "big" regulator for smaller alternators as the two draw differing field current. But nowadays, car parts are not what they were. If you buy a parts store replacement regulator, it will probably resemble the old one, but may have a shorter case, and...

What about "six two and even, over and out?" (Dick Tracy and his "wrist radio")

On a side note, you haven't LIVED until you've worked on an ancient "DuCoil." Two points, two coils, two condensers. One coil runs half the engine. You must carefully balance the points settings or half the engine will be out of time with the other. Old Mallory Rev-pol is about as bad

He says he can't get the dwell where he wants. I am suspicious. Either the dwell meter is AFU or the distributor shaft is bent/ bad bearings. etc or worn out distributor cam, which is rare. I would double check with a feeler gauge. Or double check find a different dwell meter...

Before I joined the Navy in 68 I was "radio operator" (dispatcher) for our local PD. Back then I think the town was maybe 3200 people. The assist. chief used to laugh at the mayor who insisted on having a car and a radio. He never needed it for anything at all, but sometimes I...

I would not. I would first check compression and or leak down test. That is what they are made for--to do diagnostics without tearing into stuff and ruining gaskets, etc Also a note about pulling wires. I recommend you do not. Instead, "rig" so you can SHORT the spark to ground...

You need a wire to handle max output of the alternator, and a fuse small enough to protect that wire

You will have to bleed them and may have to prime the master cylinder. Google search, there are different ways to do so. I think it is also in the service manual. If there is no evidence of leakage in the carpet or down the firewall, you most likely have a leak in the tubing to the...

By the way you put your question in "general discussion." You really should consider putting stuff in the categories designed, as there is an electrical section. No harm no foul, but for the future

The factory manual shows dark green, one wire. The markers are park circuit, not on the turn signals. Wire L17-18DGN goes through the bulkhead connector to the R terminal on the light switch, which is the tail/ marker lights

Even the RH/ RE Mopar ones require extensive rear crossmember surgery and may require a bit of floor pan mod The only other option I know of MIGHT be a "Gear Venders" which is made to bolt in place of SOME Mopar tail housings. You will have to research that. So for that...

Detail exactly what the brakes do and don't do. Are these front disk or drums?

As intelligent as Musk is supposed to be I cannot believe, A: that he is not into hybrids,and B: that he EVER authorized that cyber *uck into production

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? Model year, etc You have two or three speed wipers? Do you have a service manual?

Wipers, not much help Get into the book, section 8 and read the section on wipers. There is usually a few paragraphs on testing them. I believe the switch must be grounded. They have two power sources, one switched through the ignition switch, and the other live, for "park."

Dome / courtesy. These are all tied together with a common (OEM yellow) negative side, grounding switch leg. That means that when you open a door, twist the light switch, that (OEM yellow) grounds the circuit to activate the lamps. With non OEM wiring you are on your own, unless...

The headlight switch has TWO power feeds, B1 and B2. One is for only the headlights, the other for park, tail, and instrument. Be sure you have both power sources live. Then check at the dimmer switch. Anytime the light switch is "full on," TWO of the dimmer switch terminals should...

I am not an automatic expert, but I would pull it out. Whatever is causing that bind may have damaged the pump, etc or seals up there

Stupidbaker. As swoopy as some of the Hawks were, some of the rest of them were just blech!!

That is not what I meant. Much of the yellow wiring is the grounding switch leg for the dome. In other words a yellow goes to a door switch, when the door is open, the switch grounds the yellow and activates the dome light. The same thing happens when you turn the dimmer knob on the light...

I still remember laughing when the original "Cops" TV series came out. I think they were in FL at the time. The dispatcher would receive some info from the patrols and say "que-sell". Sort of slurred, I took some time to realize they were using the Q signal "QSL" which means...

I have yet to figure out the damn light/ lighting switch on my 04 GMC. It's al Arabic / Bohemian/ Russian icons that mean nothing to me. One is a depiction of (I guess) a lamp sort of tilting down. I thought it was the cargo light. No, it's the fog lights up front. And I drove...

Does the red look like a factory crimp?

Yellow could be the dome light ground leg switch circuit. To find out, twist the knob on the light switch to the left so the dome comes on. If so, that should kill the power on the yellow

Amazing. There is no reason any vehicle should be designed like that. I used to have my Mom's old 95 cutlass sierra, V6. It was a ***** to bleed, has two bleeders on the system.

"Mike" it. Most bearings are metric. There are rather special ones that are inch measurements, but these are usually for things like table saws where you have inch measurement blade arbor mounts, etc. Usually, if you get one measurement accurate, you can find the other without...
