Guess what I'm rewiring this weekend?

Post by KidDingo »

Finally worked out why the car wasn't starting properly, more often than not.

Turns out the mechanic hadn't fixed the electrical problem with the ignition swicth connector as well as he said he had.

Cleaned up the spade connectors a little and it seemed to make a big difference with cranking.

SO now I just need to find a replacement connector.

Oh, I get it.

Sorry Brad, you made me stop and think for a bit.

Yeah, it wasn't the best idea, but I had to get the vehicle inspected for registration, and it wasn't starting, so he had to fix it to pass the inspection.

Catch-22!

I've done everything myself since then.
