No sparky…. You don’t need this

Still cant figure out what happened to that coil.
I can’t either . But given the fact that happened on the old harness that I found melted and corroded under the dash, I’m guessing that had something to do with it.

Car had electrical gremlins when I got it. It’s why my friend parked it. Well former friend. He’s now in jail and I won’t ever see or hear from him again. He’s the guy that snapped one day out in Portland Oregon and shot a bunch of people.
 
Ask @Tooljunkie he gets more done everyday by noon than most of us get done all week! He works a wide variety of cars.
I read it. I got nothin. I would go in by the glass, wedge to assist and poke in a wire/coat hanger to attempt to release door. I would also find a forum, join and ask for advice. Googling door panel removal to get an idea how to get in there. I have a feeling there will be destruction.
 
I bought a TRW Performance catalog last night. We threw away thousands of dollars of catalogs away at the parts store. Who knew back then that they would be worth money today. Of course, storing a garage full of old catalogs for 50 years doesn't make any sense. @MOPARMITCH

I hauled a full 1/2 ton load to the dump.
 
Only thing I can think of it was powered and the points closed for an extended period of time.
Maybe. I had shut it off and pulled the key. But I also later found that the switch was constantly hot even though the key was out.
 
Morning!
Its a better start today, less pain than yesterday. Will pick away at whatever interests me.
Bought a house stereo at a yard sale, but amp will not make any noise. I wonder if there are any fuses on the circuit boards, or will it be a waste of time to open it up..i want to play some vinyl.
 
I need to feed Andy's cats. He and Emily left for Colorado yesterday for a week, biking, hiking, and camping. Then, off to Menards to find some breakers.
 
My body shop buddy had just completed painting all the engine tin work on his Baja Bug. They had some left over paints in red, white, and blue, so he did a US Flag kinda thing. It looked nice under all that Chrome Yellow that covered the rest of the bug :lol: . Eddy was working on something that required to have the ignition on and he forgot and left the key on. Where is the coil mounted on a VW you ask? Well it's mounted on the fan shroud, right over a good share of all those recently painted stars and stripes.

went the coil! All that tin work looked like you had poured brake fluid allover it. Bubble City.

like, agree, couldn't decide. a local parts store did the same thing. it hurt helping toss all those catalogs and manuals in the dumpster.
 
I'm going to do a little wiring today if I can find the right breakers for the electrical box. I ran 12-3 to a double outlet box and I will split the outlets to separate 15a. breakers. It's for Lauren's computer server. I have the box set, the wire strung and today I'll hook it up.
Chris, I need some help. :lol:

If you buy a Square D electrical box of course you need their specific breakers! :rofl:
