I'm old school. Keep adding the sub until rust falls out of the rockers and quarter panels. Add a bit more for exhaust rattle, then a touch for the sound of a few bolts loosening. Then turn it down a bit. If a window blows out during the testing you've gone a bit far, so mark the dial so when...

Mine flashed when I had water leak onto my foot dimmer switch. I simply bypassed the switch by connecting the wires to solve issue temporarily Grant

Had the same issue.. For me it ended up being a melted tailight socket. The plastic inside the socket had melted and grounded the circuit. Replaced the socket pigtail, solved. Was sort of the last place I looked/expected. Grant

It doesn't sound clogged, but it does sound like the valve is not closing all the way, so it's probably on pushing a small percentage of the fluid. They always self-prime, otherwise imagine all the people that would be at the dealership back in the day because they ran their fluid dry. Grant

The cranking amps do not put any extra load on your wiring, they give you more reserve for cranking. This reserve is storage. Grant

Had similar sounding issue with wife's 04 PT. Would drive normally, and the occasionally "buck". Turned out to be crank sensor. Also, if replacing sensors, recommendations from most are to use factory sensors and not non-Mopar replacements as these have a high incidence of non-function. Grant

Brilliantly simple, portable and cheap! Glad you posted this pic :hello1:. Thx. Grant

Had a friend who was into 240/260Zs. He would take the distributor cap off at night, and remove the rotor. And by gum, one night he was awakened to hear some guys trying to turn the damn thing over. Hood was up, and ignition hanging. Simple. Grant

Check floor mounted dimmer switch. Any moisture in there over the years can cause this issue. Grant

Now that's a great idea. If only someone would sell colored caps. Grant

If you read the whole thread, you would realize that there ARE concerns. The largest one being the potential liability of the intended user. When you are sued by a texting soccer mom in her SUV, and somehow a statement of not seeing your brake lights being on (regardless of the truth) leads to...

Nektar.. obviously you think you are far above some of us with your ability to read information off a web site, and post it here. In your insulated world, you can do what the hell you want, and deal with the consequences. Where I live, we are having major issues with both local law enforcement...

What is does say is that the manufacturer must ensure that the product meets the specifications fully. It also says that certification is required to put the DOT on the light. It also says that compliance is automatically implied once the item is offered for sale. Most importantly it also says...

Had a 74 Duster that exhibited the same issue everytime I hit the brake pedal. Found that on one of the tailight sockets, the blue(?) plastic inside had melted and allowed the connection to short. Replaced socket, and all was good. Grant

Thanks for the explanation and the link wjajr. I never made the connection between the variations between AC/DC. Grant

This thread is full of cool information, however I think this is incorrect. Please correct me if I am wrong: Watts = Volts x Amps A house circuit provides ~120volts. The wiring on a 12g wire in home use supports a 20a breaker (or load). Watts = 120 x 20 Watts = 2400 allowed In a...

Actually the "reflector" is the silver painted area at the back of the light assembly. It is silver, not black, to reflect the near 360 degree output of the incadescent bulb towards the lens, which then refracts and diffuses the light in the proper directions. Here in Manitoba, we are facing...

He will die a rich man.. at least his family will believe so until they try to sell their inheritance. Grant

Explains why evertime I tromped it on the old 68 I wanted to turn left lol.. Grant

It's a vacuum gauge.. sort of lets you know when you're using lots of gas lol.. Grant

Glad you found it.. Grant

Once had a tailamp on a Duster that caused similar issue. When I pulled a bulb, the plastic in the socket had melted and the brass pin was grounding out. Grant

I'm just guessing here, but probably because of the rubber motor mounts which isolate the two?

That's an interesting piece of information. That's true of computer power supplies as well :) Grant

Jeez Dan.. you're a wealth of info for sure. So much so, that the little lightbulb over my head is burning so brightly my hair is singeing lol.. Grant

A plethora of interesting information indeed. Grant

Not sure if I would resplice the wire since it does carry higher amperage when used. Is it too short to crimp on a new end?

Check the sockets of the bulbs. Had a Duster that the plastic separating the two contacts inside a socket had melted and caused them to connect. Everytime I pressed the brake pedal, the fuse blew. Grant

After re-reading the original post, you say the smoke coming from under the hood, and the red wire. I think maybe when you say "firewall fuse" you're referring to the bulkhead connector where all the wires pass into the interior. If so, then this is common if you are drawing more amps through...

LOL.. good readin. I'm always concerned Adam. Y'know? Grant
