Today was supposed to be the big day. The day I cranked up my 2 year frame off resto project. I added all my fluids and attemted to connect my positive cable (after ground of course) and bam, sparks! Sparks so bad that I singed the fuse link down at the solenoid. What is really bothersome is that I used new harnesses throughout. I have looked for anything that may be grounding out that shouldn't be, but yet to find the problem. Any ideas? I know there are dozens of reasons this could be. I just ordered colored schematics off of e-bay. Wow, what a bummer.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Um, aren't you supposed to hook up the positive first, then the negative? Maybe this caused the problem.

 

Yeah man, I was so freaked out when the thing blew the fusible link that I wasn't thinking straight. Anyhow, good news, it turned out to be the alternator. Like I said, this was a frame off resto and I rebuilt everything that was rebuildable rather than just replacing them with remans, anyhow, I guess I flubbed the alternator up. Well, anyway, she is sounding mean, lean and quite like the runnin' machine.


CIAO!

 

Lol. Had me thinkin there. Glad to hear she's runnin good. If you did all that rebuild, and all you flubbed up is the alt. Then I guess that's pretty good.
