The beginning and ending of the story:
I took the car on a long drive (of about 200Miles) at about the 150 mile market the car’s gages started to tack back and forth going haywire. I pulled over lifted the hood smelled some electrical (short maybe). Let the car rest tried to start it, it barley started seemed to be running out of battery power. Made to the location, again let the car rest tried to start it; it had very little power but started. On the return trip about 5 miles from home the entire car went dark zero power, lights, gages nothing was light driving in the dark.
As you followers know I’ve changed out quite a few electrical items, and even replaced some wiring. As I moved forward with all your suggestions to elevate the eclectic problem I still couldn’t fix it. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and take it to an expert. Lucky me just north of where I live (lower Delaware) there is just that kind of person who is a Mopar Expert, “Herb’s” in Middletown Delaware. I had the 69RR flat bedded there once I arrived he started working on it right away. I received a call the late in the afternoon the next day from Herb letting me know it was finished. Here’s what he came up with, 3 wired that go into the harness that’s connected in the fire wall were corroded and barely providing current, once he fixed that he started the car and found out that the horn relay, backup switch, flasher switch, left side blinker, were all burned out. Two of the wires that connect to the horn relay were misconnected and the ground wire to the alternator was bailey on. He replaced all the switchers and corrected the wiring with that the car is back to it running glory. I also him to do a complete walk around to make sure there were no other issues. He found that the starter wire was so lost that it was arcing to the connection he replaced that nut with a self threading lockdown because the stud was a little stripped. He tightened up the tie rob that was lose; I kid you not Herb is truly a master mechanic with mopar’s. He’s a man with a passion and one of the nicest people you’ll ever me.
After mentioning him (in the way that I did) you would think that I would be getting a break on my bill NO I didn’t, my intent is to share with you a master mechanic who I trust and is honest. I wouldn’t have anyone else work on my 69RR
