Question on power for a few minutes then none

The one I'm referring to is from www.classiccarwiring.com by John Anastasio
This one is actually for my 69 Dart but figured it would be similar.


There is no circuit breaker in original cars in main power, except......."some years" etc have


breaker built into the headlight switch for those

built into the wiper switch I think only earlier years

The main feed through the bulkhead power is "somewhat" protectected by one time fuse links out in the engine bay

If you can, post a reference to what you are seeing. What diagram are you reading? Generally factory shop manuals are superior.

MyMopar has free service manuals you can download

Also on that site are wiring diagrams SOME of those are aftermarket and not always complete

Please be certain to read this MAD article. Even if you don't do the modification, this article points out the problems with wiring, mainly, bulkhead connector terminals, ammeter, etc, and in some cases the ignition switch for some problems

The diagram they post there on that page is an excellent simplified view of the main power distro in the car
