electrical problem

ok now, i was rehooking up my volts gauge right... we i accidently sparked the + a few times..... well now nothin works..... i just had time to check the fuses b4 it started pouring.... i just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and what it turned out to be.. cause i dont feel like checking every god darn thing.... thanks....

my friend did that on his galant. it was actually a fuse but the fuse wasnt located in the fuse block. (we had to take it in to find out what the prob was) but thats what the guy told us.

and when i mean nothing works... when i go to start it, it does nothin, the headlights or nothing works, but i still have spark at the + going to the gauge

damn... hmmm.......

it has to be a fuse. or maybe several. i wired up a
stereo in my brothers trans am and i accidently touched th pos wire to the shifter and it sparked
it blowed the ignition fuse, stereo, lights. do you have one of those testers that checks for bad fuses?

no i dont have one of those... but everything went out, so i figured theres got to be a main fuse somewhere, one was blown but thats been blown, it was for the brake lights, but man its pooring like a bitch here man and the wind is howling like a dman hurricane

trace the wires back lol sounds fun....

which one.... lol

10-4 good buddy, does you r car have any of those
silver breakers in the fuse box? one of mine blew and the guages went dead once, power windows
or nothin would work.

yea i have 2, by the way this is in my truck, i have a big rectangle one and a circular one

there could be you problem. i think if you take a volt meter you can test them out.

lol what postive did you ground a few times?

or i can just go switch them out of then other bronco and see if that fixes it.. lol...the circular one is for the blinker and the rectangle one is for the windsheild winpers and washers so i dont know........

lol what postive did you ground a few times?

the postive wire going to the gauge.. lol

well actually the sending unit for the water temp gauge touched it the 1st time.... i guess i am gonna have to trace the wires...

you are going to have your hands full. try tracing and reconnecting wires that have been cut up.
that 80 turbo t/a is a nightmare i almost have the wiring fixed. got about 10 more wires to put crimp connectors on and tape everything off

lol... yea i feel ya.... i just took my hole wiring harness out in my maro,i can just imagine hooking one up

im just gonna go through and check all the main fuseable links under the hood now that its has stopped storming

yeah id start there too.

by golly i figured it out...i used to have an ameter in there so i just took the wiring from that and hooked it to the volts meter not thinking... well sure nuff i sat down and thought about it and unhooked the volts meter and bam everything worked again, my dad had the ameter directly wired into one of the main power wires

good job!!!!!!! now if i can figure out my disaster.

lol.... im sure you will figure it out

that car on the right is what i got for 1k.
it will take another 3k to make it look that
good....lol

haha.... id rather buy a beater and fix it up rather then buy something all ready fixed up

yeah me too. when i first saw it, i felt like jumping up and down like pee wee herman when he found his bike........lol

lmfao :lol2:

wonder how the 301 turbo will run? i had a 80
trans am my sophmore year of high school but
it was a se. had the shaker hood scoop, 301
it ran kinda slow, need a carb kit and a tune up
bad. i sold it after 4 months and bought a 6 banger
camaro. i was sad and wanted it back and the man
had already sold her to someone before i could get it back. but now i have her back only with a turbo
charged engine and a cut up wiring harness.

it should be pretty fast.... id love to have a turboed sb

i dont know even if it will run could be locked up tighter than fort knox. it has sit for 10 years
and had two inches of dust on it. i already
washed it, armorall'd the dash, it really cleaned up nice, with the exception of a few surface rust spots here and there. im going to repaint it and
put the gold decals back on it. then get ban one
put on the rear license plate.

get a breaker bar and a 3/4 socket i wanna say.... and try rotate it over a few times....

yeah my brother said he was going to try that too.
im only planning on a stock rebuilt if the motor
is locked up

yea that sounds good.. you gonna restore it to stock?

yeah try too. which is the interior looks excellent,
needs a driver side window thats all it needs.
no dents, no rust holes. so i think it would be worth
more if it was restored to stock.

yea it would... you already have your drag cars.. lol...is the window broken or badly scratched??

busted out. i guess yearone.com hear i come.
i got my wiring fixed, i worked all day on it put in a
hot battery, all the accesories worked. and guess what.....i changed the oil, put in some restore,
got all the old gas out of the tank, put i some
92 octane and some 104 octane boost and tried
to start it up. it cranked 5 times didnt hit a lick.
so i changed the plugs. she cranked twice and fireed up but ran a little ruff. it smoked like a
mofo, i felt a little confident about the car. so
i pulled out on the road and floored it and i barked
the tires and took off but when it hit second gear.
it started sliping. and i lost 1st too, so all i had was reverse. i backed it back into the drive way. and let her ide for a couple of minutes, the radiator needs flushed bad, and probally a new thermostat.
i couldnt beleive that it ran. all the guages was functioning normaly. so i got my wiring right. my
dad couldnt beleive it. but he rolled in the yard when he seen that the tranny went out. iguess that it set so long that the clutches deteriorated.
