West Coast Rally / Re: 2026 Willits California - ...
Last post by aviationfred - Today at 02:02:36 AM
I just saw Derek and Donna's post. I also have to bow out from attending this year. I have had to cancel my reservations. I needed 3 days of vacation to be able to attend. My employer gives us 24 hours of floating holiday pay. Which in years past, we were able to use in 8 hour increments for any time off throughout the year. This year they changed it. We now HAVE to use 8 hours for the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. That leaves me short 16 hours of time needed for the WCR.
Hoping everyone that attends will have a safe and wonderful time.

The aft connector has power on the red and power on the brown also when the key is turned on.

I also discovered where my 2 spare fuses are located in my fuse box...^^

Good to know!

Ok I pulled the red connector, from the outside it looked very normal but inside was similar to
the image posted on a thread here on Mar 17, 2015, post #3. I will email you  some pics.
Thanks

Thanks,

I just tried to clean the spades a bit and tested for continuity at both ends on the plug when connected
and a bit spotty but i was getting a tone.

Then I probed all 3 wires on both sides of the connected connector with a test light and all 3 wires on both sides
illuminated the light. Should all 3 be hot? I can always hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the key on but nothing else.

The spade side of the connector has a bit of wire to work with if I replaced it but the female side it quite tight to that harness. Is your ignition repair kit compatible with the female side of the connector if I wanted to just replace the male half with the hole?

Still shows power of the 4 outer fuses with the test light but not the 2 most inboard ones.

I will check my manual and try to find the alternator..

Thanks again for your help!

Sorry, I was away from the shop today.

That plug is the first place to start. Now is the time to check the red plug at the alternator for the same melting of the plug

I just ordered your replacement plug kit.

Later I will remove the old one and try to bypass it and see it that's the culprit or not..

Thanks

Thanks for your reply!

I have not been having much luck uploading images here but I just sent an email to Randy at RPM with
photos of the ignition connector that did not look perfect after ??years and had one hole in the male
side of the plastic body.

I may try to clean them up if I can pull the spades out and test if any non working lights came back on.

I was also thinking about trying to jump from the positive battery terminal to the nearby 2 fuses that
had no power in the fuse box but didn't know if that would cause any new problems..

The battery after 2.5 hours off the charger was 12.89 and it was just installed last year.

Thanks

With all of that not working, I would start at the ignition switch plug.

Check the photo in Mark Martins post from several years ago: https://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=14220.msg144336#msg144336

We have replacement plugs in stock: https://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M%2FC%3AIginitionPlugKit

Also, what is the battery voltage when not on the charger?
