Where do I : start .How do i test the resistor ? Sounds like a bad fuseable link or alturnator gauge. Will the engine crank if you connect the two wire posts comming out of the starter? (bridge them with a screwdriver or piece of metal) Give that a try, if it cranks, hotwire the coil and see if it will start. DD |

A common problem in old mopars is corrosion of the connector of the main power wire running through the ammeter. Drew rdb787@mail.usask.ca |
