Jose
Believe me I was tempted to do just that, In the old days before computers
in cars, the old Cadillac's and Lincoln's had electric windows and would
start blowing fuss's so to find a short we would wrap gum wrapper around
fuss and when we would see smoke we would disconnect battery and fix the bad
wire's.
something strange is going on with the old TF and I thought I've checked
every thing, I only have the main harness in, no coil, have altenartor but
not connected'
seams to be in the lighting circuit, I can disconnect the LT Blue wire on
the light switch and what appears to be a short goes away (that's checking
from LT blue wire to Ground) I can also dim the lights and it goes away?????
I might have to call in Chevy Duty He He He
I've got spare Light switch, Instrument Cluster,Dimmer Switch and every
thing checks the same as in the truck so I am beginning to think it's in the
harness or I am reading the resistance across the Ammeter ?????
