Yup, I knew it was gonna be something stupid, most likely my fault, and was correct. Got home from work, popped connector off, tested voltage, nadda at ICM side of wire from - side of coil. Thought maybe the new harness I bought was bad, but thought I better check my 1 connection on that wire...

Yea, I have no clue. New ECU, New pickup coil, coil swapped to known working coil, new ballast resistor. NOTHING CHANGED! Full batt volt. on both sides on coil,, test light dims but wont flash while cranking on - side of coil. Key in run, full batt volt everywhere, ballast resistor not dropping...

I have full batt voltage on both sides of the coil in run and start positions, it's gotta either be the pickup coil died, or the ECU/ICM did

Thank you, I have a new ECU, resistor, and dist. pickup coil on order, I will use your post to troubleshoot once they arrive. I am just trying to get this thing running to move onto next part. I was just asking for help, and your 1st comment rubbed me the wrong way. Do you have a Youtube video...

I have swapped out the resistor, got same results, and I have another on order, but it ran with the existing resistor in place, drove into the garage then tore it apart, and yes, it's a newer ECU, only has 4 pins in it

Telling me it's so bad I should rip it out and start over isn't saying anything bad to, or about me? Okay boomer. You didn't offer any help to my post, only bashed it. I'm sure all of your cars were show cars all the way thru the building phases, right?

Wiper motor is NOT wired to the ballast resistor in pics, I did not realize the motor had a ballast resistor, I thought previous owner had installed after removing the 4 post ballast resistor, the wiper motor is fully wired and working, but not to resistor, as the AAW instructions did not...

Yea, I didn't know wiper motor had a resistor, the 4 post ballast is long gone, and I thought previous owner had put this 2 post in since the 4 post ballast is no longer needed. But it has run with this setup.

Original 4 post ballast was long gone, I thought previous owner had put in the 2 post ballast, didn't know it was for wiper motor, as my new wiring has direct connections, and doesn't specify anything about a wiper motor ballast. Car only needs a 2 post ballast now. Also, I have changed to a 1...

its a Powermaster 1 wire

Thanks for your helpful reply, you should send me your address so I can send a thank you gift. WTF is wrong with you? I know it aint pretty, I'm not done yet, wiring is just roughly laid in position, trying to get it running, why be an asshole?

No, it's not a factory replacement. No seatbelt interlock

***SOLVED*** Wire from ICM/ECU to Negative side of coil was broken right at crimp, but rubber sleeve held it in place without allowing voltage to pass thru. I know this issue has been beat to death, I've read the posts, watched the videos, and I'm still stumped. 1974 Dart, 318 w/electronic...

Thank you guys!
