Good evening,
I finally got my dash back in place, harness hooked up, new battery, and was really looking forward to starting the car tonight.
Sadly, no joy...
The headlamps, tail lamps, turn signals, and hazard flashers all work. When I turn the key, the ignition light turns on and the fuel pump does its thing. But no cranking.
I've also noticed no courtesy lamp illumination.
I swapped the harnesses by leaving a portion of the end of each wire in place so I could color match and plug in the appropriate wire. To the best of my knowledge, I did this correctly.
Down at the starter, I'm getting 12+ volts, which isn't surprising considering that the lights work. Also not surprising that the appropriate terminals on the fuse box also get 12+ volts.
Seems like 1974 was a year where the driver's seat belt was required to be fastened before the car would start. Mine would start without it being fastened. Is it possible that in replacing the whole main harness that I inadvertently re-activated that feature?
Where are some other places to check for voltage?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-William
