May God grant your family His peace and comfort

My barracuda and a friends valiant were the only 2 a-bodies at the 3500 car cruise in at the Essenhause in Middlebury, Indiana

Yes the little inst fuse is what is blowing. Everything else electrical works fine.

No console. Just one under dash courtesy light and the 2 courtesy lights in the rear seat area. Pillar lights are what a couple molar friends called them.

will do. Had a problem with pillar light but now I wonder about the under dash being the problem

The fuse is the instrument cluster fuse. That’s what keep blowing. Battery disconnected for sure. Will try the suggestions soon. Had to put cluster back in for a cruise tonight. Hopefully will get back to this Monday. Really hope Friday but wife had some plans

So I've been having a terrible time getting dash lights to work. I replaced the circuit boards and the lights still don't work. I did have them working a couple years ago. I've tried the fuse but it blows as soon as the light switch is on. So today I pulled the dash to my bench and started...

Finally got it. No problems on my last outing. Wires wore bare going across the header between the pillar post sockets. There was no grommet where the wire went through the header frame. Found a similar problem where the wires to the front bumper turn signal. So thanks all for the variety of...

Problem fixed. I think will know after tonight’s cruise in. Bad post socket.

Thanks I'll check those things you suggested

So I've pulled the dash, disconnected the light switch, ignition switch, so I'm thinking maybe bulkhead? This did have a complete wiring harness within the last three years. My wife reminded me it seemed to start having problems after a trailer ride. Things I've not checked include the dimmer...

Will do on the bulbs. My sockets are metal

Second courtesy light pulled no change.

Yes it does. Pulled one no change. Going to pull other next

So deep dive shows the entire car is hot. Hooked ohmmeter to positive cable when unhooked from battery. Ground to battery also unhooked. Any metal gives continuity engine, dashboard etc. ran down dash wiring and the other under dash. Catching my breath since it’s 86 with dew point of 78...

Thanks guys, I will do and examine all the items you mentioned. Did the rheostat, so one thing done. Deep dive tomorrow!

Well, I'm still trying to run down this issue and wonder if it is the ignition switch. Here's the story. During restoration I put a new wiring harness on the car. I had everything working lights, courtesy lights, dash lights. But then, the dash lights started blowing the fuse. Thought it must be...

Ken, that is the shaft and knob I'm looking for. How can we make the exchange? I live in Pierceton IN.

My headlight switch know has parted ways with the shaft. Now my switch is not shutting of the courtesy lights and the dash lights not working. I know there are switches listed online but I can't find the knob and shaft. Please include a picture of the knob and shaft if you can.

I am searching for a return spring that fits on the back of the accelerator pedal and connects the pedal to the accelerator rod. The Mopar number is 2806 400. It would fit a 63-66 A-body Valiant, Dart or in my case Barracuda with a 6 cylinder motor...

My current cover appears to have the plug welded in. I am looking for a new (to me) cover to replace this so I can put fresh oil in the axle.

So one additional question, since the threads are smaller on a gauge sending unit than a switch, is the correct fix to use an adapter?

Once again you guys nailed it. The unit is a switch not a unit for a gauge. The ohms between the tip and body of the sending unit are around 40 before starting the car. Start it and there is no ohm reading. Once again I forgot a rule. Never assume the part on a restoration is the correct one to...

Thanks everyone! I will check to see if it's a sending unit or switch and post a photo in the morning. Thanks for the ideas!

The sending unit is grounded

I will go do that. I did not use any sealant but who knows!

My oil gauge does not register when the car is running. Here's what I've done thus far. My conclusion is bad gauge but I know there are experts that can confirm this. 1. with switch on accessory or run before start the gauge pegs high 2. when I start the car is drifts to pegged low 3. when I...

Electrical connection through the firewall is what I said is block. Have charge now! After rerunning Darts tests and researching online what we should have for alternator and voltage regulator figured out that my vr (box labeled correct) was not the correct VR. Thanks for all your help. I...

Will do! I'm double checking all the wiring with the wiring diagram. The charging system is pretty simple. I did charge the battery and it is at 12.6v. The alternator is charging slightly will raise the voltage to 12.9v without a load. Drops to 11.9v with lights on. Won't get up to 12 even with...
