Going with the original 3 prong...I traced out the wires and got positive test results on 2: yellow-dome light; black-door buzzer. Didn’t know how to test yellow striped-time delay. Now to get a new switch from Van’s.

Thanks for the info Dubob. The 3 pin connector has one stud that is badly corroded so I'll need the plug too....if I can't find one to wire in, I'm contemplating seeing if I can carefully remove the metal pins from the plastic and push new ones in....OR using the two prong connector and putting...

Here is the photo...hopefully.

Dome light doesn't work. During troubleshooting found both switches corroded. Top one is from pax side and cleaned up good...now delivers continuity/break in continuity. Bottom one is from driver's side and the prongs don't make contact You can see plastic coming down which keeps two of the...

Ran new wire through the firewall plug, rewired alternator over to starter relay with #10 wire and fusible link, cleaned up firewall connections and DC-4'd them, cleaned up fuse box, and some wiring left over from a failed attempt at electronic ignition years ago (think I had a lemon control...

We did pull each fuse one by one and had continuity through it all...my buddy thinks the voltmeter and/or light bulb might be causing the continuity...we did close the doors so the door switch to the dome light wouldn't be a factor.

Fuse box looked ok...found the firewall connector to be melted where the main power wire goes through. Pulled out the bad wires and plan to push through new wires tomorrow. Also plan to rewire the alternator over to the starter relay with a fusable link. Black wire coming into the cabin was...

Thanks Dubob, waiting on my buddy to come who's a lot smarter on this stuff then I am. That's a great idea...I'll start there with him holding the meter in the engine compartment and me pulling fuses...will post back what we find. Crazy day here with the drywall guy showing up to fix our...

Looking for some help to get Mr Duster up and running again. Mallory dual point distributer and stock coil(I think--round black). Couple years ago I took out the rally dash and had it sent off to a FABO member who did a great job renewing it. I opted to have the amp gauge display like a volt...

Praying for Kitty and you.

Pm sent on side lights.

Just a crazy thought...could it be a fuel delivery issue? Screen/filter blocked? Once pressure is off enough fuel gets by to the accelerator pump for initial fire, then when it fires up the supply isn't there....happened to me on a friends car a long time ago...like I said, probably a crazy...

I'm going to have to wait till my buddy can come over to answer that question. It's intermittent and we'd need a guy out at the battery when it fluctuates at the dash. I'm back on "family time" now about to play some checkers with my 4 yr old. I have to fix the melted plastic connector which...

Soon as I posted I saw your question. I thought I did it right, but I can't be sure...hence my making a chart and methodically checking again...and again. On my chart I had .75V the first time, then 0 the next two times with the switch on and checking from the positive post. I'm out of...
