Hello guys, last week i had taken the dart out for a car meet with a bunch of friends, car wouldn't start after the meet, couldn't get it to crank..no power etc..
Today rolls around, i finally had time to tackle the job, get the old switch out, replace it with a new BWD one..
Get it all in, before putting steering wheel back in i tested it to make sure it worked, plugged in battery, started up first try no problem.. didn't even have to pump the gas.
took battery out, finished everything, get steering wheel back on, plug battery in. test it again.. no power.. nothing works no lights no radio nothing..
Whats going on here? faulty switch?
Ive seen pictures on how your guys switches are set up.. but mines completely different, wires spliced and everything, well i spliced the new one just like the old one was, fired up one time. that's it.
Car background.
74 dart swinger 318 original car.
Here is how my switch is setup, can anyone tell me why there is a jumper wire from the blue to brown.. and the red wire from the starter relay spliced into the yellow wire from the ignition switch?
