    Turn Signal Relay Issue

    Awesome! This is what I needed to confirm. Mine are metal, so I should not see a ring terminal ground wire anywhere. However, there may be a ground issue, that I can resolve, by soldering a tire to the back of the light housing and screwing to the trunk floor.

    Trunk Ground Location 1971 DART?

    I looked and followed the loom from the hump on the driver's side behind the rear seat, along the side marker and around to the Passenger side marker. There is only one black wire at the Passenger side marker, and appears to be the end of the line. That black wire is power, like the wiring...

    Trunk Ground Location 1971 DART?

    Thanks, is that what the upside down xmas tree symbol means? I knew that it would ground via socket to body, I am having issues where they stay one or in cases don't come on. So, I wanted to add additional ground wires. I was unsure if I could just pigtail to body from the metal light housing or...

    Anyone Familiar With a Blue Wire w/ Yellow Stripe Along Firewall?

    Thanks for you reply. Yes, it was the "fusable link". However, in my case it was an in-line 25A blade mini fuse (aftermarket). I ended up just buying a new engine harness. Somehow, when I changed out to a new bulkhead connector, I jacked up some wires, with the whole reverse image in the service...

    Trunk Ground Location 1971 DART?

    Good afternoon, I am trying to identify where the ground location is for the trunk, for my rear lights etc. I followed the wiring diagram, but it simply shows a ground for the rear defrost motor. I don't believe I have rear defrost and if I do, it does not work, as none of my HVAC works. Can...

    Turn Signal Relay Issue

    Thank you for the insight. I will test the Socket in the trunk tomorrow. I looked today in the trunk floor and the wall along the bumper. I could not find any ground wire bolted to the trunk pan. The wire diagram shows a Ground Wire ring terminal on the read defroster motor, but I could not find...

    Turn Signal Relay Issue

    I thank you for the crash course. I will no longer call them relays! Ok, so I am stuck on stupid with the “What I would do” instructions. I need to correct my facts. 1. I have both types of 1157 bulbs and both types of FLASHERS. I bought them to try both set ups. So, I am happy if just...

    Turn Signal Relay Issue

    Good morning, I am trying to sort out an issue with my turn signal relay. I bought both the normal mechanical and the Heavy Duty one (Electric and for LED). I have both incandescent and LED 1157 bulbs to swap between. If I connect the pink multi-wire V shaped connector to the relay, and use the...

    Brake Light Switch

    Good morning, Can anyone share any insight on how to remove the Stop Light Switch? I looked on YouTube and none of the older models are shown.I don't have brake lights, and with my test light I am getting ho on both terminals of the switch at all times. I am thinking that should bot be, and it...

    Does Anyone See An Issue With Splicing Ign 1 & 2 at Harness?

    Good morning, I have been battling issues with getting my MSD 6 AL back up. I bought a new box and was running fine for about 4 days. Yesterday, I was driving and felt a skip for a second. It happened twice, and I shrugged it off as maybe a carburetor blip. I got on the Interstate and before...

    How To Install an Ignition Switch in 1970 Dodge Dart

    Question.... I replaced my bulkhead connector with a new one. I "thought" I swapped wire for wire keeping each one in the right location. But now I am second guessing. The Yellow wire on the ignition switch harness you show in the picture, on my car is HOT all the time. With key or without key...

    Anyone Familiar With a Blue Wire w/ Yellow Stripe Along Firewall?

    I am still struggling to get my electrical issue with my 71 Dart resolved. I changed my headers and had to remove the plugs and wires to access manifold. When I put back I accidentally mixed up the plug wires. I went through the flames out carb and starts with backfires. Finally figured out...

    Steering Shaft short on ignition switch possible?

    Right that makes sense. I tested it without the bearing of course. It contacted the shaft and arced. I am still stuck. I went out and purchased a Short Tracer and just realized I cannot use it! The Main in-line fuse is that is blowing! In order to trace you must remove the fuse that blows and...

    How To Install an Ignition Switch in 1970 Dodge Dart

    I assume that the splice is on the other side of the ignition switch harness. Meaning not the side going to the column, but after the male end of the harness that goes into the bulkhead connection in firewall?

    How To Install an Ignition Switch in 1970 Dodge Dart

    I tried that for my 1971 Dart. I had 2 brown wires on one side of the ballast (outer end) and 2 blue wires and a black wire on the left (inner). I tried tying the left wires and then took one brown wire of the two (the one that was not going to the bulkhead, but the one coming out of it) and...

    How To Install an Ignition Switch in 1970 Dodge Dart

    Wait what? This sounds interesting, and may be the solution to the mystery! But, I don't understand what you are saying I need to do. I do have floor shift. It was converted from column at some point. I don't know what year the column came out of, because the car was like it when I bought it...

    Steering Shaft short on ignition switch possible?

    I am rebuilding my steering shaft and replacing my switch for the 3rd time this week. When I put the last one in, I checked the switch for constant, then turning to Assec, then on and crank. I check each wire at each key position for power, BEFORE putting column back together. I noticed a small...

    1971 Dart Detonation Issue

    I did the plug wires again, but it still is not starting and flames are coming out the carb. I also just bought a new MSD Blaster 2, thinking maybe the coil was bad and that didn't fix it. IT is crazy because I did not change anything other than rebuild the steering column, swap new headers and...

    1971 Dart Detonation Issue

    Good afternoon. I wanted to kick this issue out to the field of more experienced folks than I. My Dart has had the following and running for over 2 years: 1. MSD 6AL Box 2. MSD Blaster Coil 3. MSD Distributor (8534 Billet HEI Mag trigger Mechanical Advance) 4. 318 engine I recently rebuilt by...

    Is my Lokar kickdown right?

    I don't see a bend. It's just that Lokar seems to be a highly favored brand. I was not sure if the braided cover was supposed to gather up or not, before I spend money swapping it out with a different cable.

    Is my Lokar kickdown right?

    I have a Lokar with the braided stainless sleeve. When you pull the throttle and the cable moves, the braided sleeve bunches up. I was told by a mechanic that the sleeve should not bunch up and instead the cable should slide freely and not pull the outer covering. He thinks the cable is binding...

    How Do I Remove Instrument Cluster 71 Dart?

    VDART - Thanks for the reply. You are scaring me though! I read your instructions and my head is still spinning. All of that is to get to the headlight switch? My dash has the horizontal split. So the upper face of the cluster is plastic. The lower is metal. The headlight knob is in the lower...

    How Do I Remove Instrument Cluster 71 Dart?

    I have been looking for a Service Manual for my car an have typically used the Automotive Historical Library (www.wildaboutcars.com) to access the PDF of Service Manuals. Unfortunately, the Mopar section is very limited. Anyway, I have the screws out of the panel and the adjacent one that had...

    Honestly, I never checked. Any other color would look horrible (Black or White :( ) I have a picture of the build sheet I can send you, but I did not try and pry it from under the seat springs, for fear it would crumble.
