Nothing Works!

Any time you have a hole through metal, a rubber grommet should be inserted to keep the wire from rubbing on steel. Pick what works best.

do you have a test light?they are cheap and easy to use.

in your picture in the upper left corner i see what looks like a wire connector eyelet, what is that?. the insulator he is talking about would be a round rubber shield so that the body does not cut in to the wire. that wire should have ran through the bulk head connector i believe.

Yes, I see that too, the eyelet is attached to the bulkhead and is about to fall off.

OK, I am very week in the electrical area but I will try. The ground is tight. I think the other stuff is good. I couldn't figure out how to test it with a meter though. What I am wondering is why I don't even have lights?

Electrical on these older cars are pretty simple, your missing main power or ground. What is that other eyelet that i seen in your picture?

can you take a better pic of that so i can see what your saying exactly

 

[mpro69rr]

Automatic or manual transmission?
Automatic the wire should go to the switch on the Trans.
The wire going through the firewall would normally be in a bulkhead connector. At a minimum it should have heat shrink or a grommet in the firewall.

It used to be an auto but now is a four speed.

Here you go! The wiring is really bad on this car, really hacked.

 

[Jeff Baker]

connect that wire to the positive and your power should return

To what/where positive? On the starter relay where the starter wire is?

yes the one that has the two big wires

 

[mpro69rr]

yes the one that has the two big wires

OK, Ill try that now

 

[mpro69rr]

yes the one that has the two big wires

Tried it and it didn't work. The car was OK before and that wire wasn't attached to anything?

Tried it and it didn't work. The car was OK before and that wire wasn't attached to anything?

then some one has bypassed it with the one that goes through your firewall,find that one under you dash and see where is goes.
