Okay, well before I had a chance to "look" into it, it fixed itself, which tells me I've got something loose or possibly a wire with cracked insulation.

Thanks TrailBeast!

Okay, well, my front signals have been working great w/no issues. One day the pass side front signal quits, but gave no indication on the fender top signal or dash light. All of a sudden it starts working again. A few days later both front stop working. Well I go to change both bulbs out and...

In my 66 Valiant I ran the alternator (Black wire) to the starter relay with a fusible link at the relay end.

Thanks sir!

Okay, so I've got both harnesses back in and got the new ignition/volt reg system in place. I went ahead and wired in the later style regulator. I put a new alternator that would be for a 73 Dart Sport 340...65 amp on it. Regulator is for the same car. I also put an MSD Blaster 2 Coil and...

Thank you sir. I'm going to go ahead and rewire the engine harness for the later style regulator with a single ballast resister. The ECU plug is a 4 prong. Have any recommendations for a good quality ECU and volt/reg I can get from a parts store? Also, what about headlight relays? I...

Okay 67Dart273, What vehicle would I tell the parts guy to get the later style alternator? And, does the amp output of the alternator matter?

I plugged the new alt in, joined the two alt gauge wires, plugged the ign switch back in and jumped the fusible link. Turned the key on and turned the heater on and....it worked!! So that must have been the prob. Regardless though, I did pull the dash harness and the engine harness and...

Ok got it. lol Well, I did find one problem. I took the alternator off and took it back to Autozone and had them test it. Their machine wouldn't even spin it and it would go straight to FAIL. After doing this several times they came to the conclusion that their tester adapter was faulty...

Does everything have to be hooked up in order to function? Like does the headlight switch have to be plugged in in order for the wipers to work and so forth?? I unplugged the power wire (black) coming from the alternator and there isn't enough power coming through the burnt splice to light...

Okay, so I've unplugged each switch one by one and the light still lights up. I've unplugged each fuse one by one and the light still lights up as well. That's if I'm doing this right. I'm touching the headlamp wires to where the splice is burnt in half.....if that's what I'm supposed to...

Is there any way to test the switches and instrument panel for a short if there is no power running to them, like if I pulled each switch one by one and tested them?

Thanks Redfish, lol, I think I'm a little more nervous now about the switches, lol. Let's hope for the best, I guess.

67Dart273, Thanks for the advice! One thing though, Nothing in the car would turn on: no ignition, no headlights/taillights, wipers, gauge lights,....nothing at all. I pulled the ground off the battery, took the two halves of the fusible link and twisted them together, put the ground...

Okay, well, was driving to work this morning and the Valiant did the same thing then went capoot! Completely died. Here's was became of the fusible link at the starter relay: I pulled the instrument panel out on the side of the road with the small tool set I carry and you can see how hot...

Wow! Thanks 67Dart273! I know that I've been wanting to update the whole harness in the car (w/aftermarket speedo/tach and other gauges) but just don't know who, what, where to go because there is so much out there! I'd really like to keep it as simple as I can. I'd like to be able to use...

Was driving home from a friends home tonight in the rain in my 66 Val and encountered some weird electrical issues. Was cruising around 60mph with the headlights on and wipers running. Had been driving for about 15-20 minutes then all of a sudden all lights (headlights and gauge lights) went...

Wondering if the wiring harness....firewall-forward(engine compartment, headlights, ignition, etc) from a 64 Dart will plug into a 66 Valiant Signet with no problems?? I have the 64 harness laying around and am thinking on doing all the mods for electronic ignition/voltage regulator, and...

I agree, sticky material.....gonna convert the valiant to an electronic ignition soon and this was exactly what I was gonna look for!! Thanks guys.
