I allways try to stay away from wiring or put a issue on a toggle switch. If possible on my other vehicles..
I won’t even change a wall socket in the house !!
When I first got this truck my ol-literate cousin who can’t read or write “ who knows fords well” was messing with the dodge while I was at work .. trying to help. And ended up melting all the plastic off one of my wires coming out of the ignition switch pigtail. The wire that goes to the ballast resistor. It melted all the way up into the dash bundle ( I assume that goes to the fuse box ??). I don’t do wires.. but now I’m forced to face my nemesis’s.
THIS WILL BE A 1977w200/m880 ( has the plate on the dash ) power wagon
First thing I did was order a HAYNES manual for that truck. Replaced everything electrical under the hood .. coil. Ballast. Ecm’. Voltage regulator. Alternator. distributor cap and button.
I have 2 wires coming out of the pigtail spliced toghter … why I don’t know.
I’ve been up all night searching this website.. watching you tube videos on it and looking at the wiring diagram in my manual . And I can honestly say I’ve learned nothing !!!! Wires ain’t my cup of tea at all.. and this diagram may as well be written in Chinese… I understand absolutely nothing I’m looking at !!!
so how can I ask for help ? When I myself have no clue what I’ve got to do. My pigtail going into the firewall is broke in half and one wire is bare copper. ( now that I can fix which I’m headed out to do at 7am.) I have a new ignition lock. And a new ignitionswitch both from rock auto. Com
I did retain the knowledge that the red and black wire on the new unit needs to be reversed
It’s going to take a army to coach me thru this.. and if you feel up to it. P.M. me your phone number.. and be ready for calls and questions.
I’m totally lost here
