jeep Junkies Pop.....
Can anyone verify this picture wiring ?
Right side is Large Black wire going to +battery and small red wire into fuseable link
small red/blue are S & I wires respectevley
left side of switch is large black wire going to starter, 1 small red wire (that burnt in 2 and twisted together going to alternator and another small red wire going somewhere else.
I thought that only starter should be coming off this side ?
Ok...So I moved the original burnt small red wire over to the ACC side of the switch and WAAAAALAAAAAA !!! ACC Power :LOL
ie headlights come on etc.... key works now... BUT....
Now, when you turn the key to start, the motor continues to crank, doesnt start, and wont stop cranking regardless of the key position off so you have to pull the positive side of the battery..... Hmmmmmm
H E L P !!!!
getting closer :o)
