I'M TRYING TO GET YOU SOME STUFF TOGETHER AS YOU READ THIS
AFTER I SAW YOUR PIC AND THE "AMC" LOGO, I FIGURED IT MIGHT BE INTERMITTENT WIPERS
SOLENOID TEST: "I TERMINAL" (NOT "I" WIRE) AIN'T GONNA GIVE FULL BATTERY VOLTAGE UNTIL WE MAKE "S" WORK PROPERLY AND THE SOLENOID ACTIVATES, LIKE IT SHOULD.
(WHICH WILL TURN THE STARTER OVER-UNLESS WE DISCONNECT THE BIG CABLE AT THE STARTER WHILE TESTING)
THEN, WITH THE KEY AT "START", THIS WILL MAKE THE ELECTROMAGNET IN THE SOLENOID "CLICK REALLY HARD" (COPPER CONTACT PLATES WITHIN IT ARE "CONNECTING" THE 2 BIG POSTS, TO RUN THE STARTER STRAIGHT OFF OF THE BATTERY....BASICALLY, A BIG ELECTRIC SWITCH IN THE BIG CABLES.
THEN "I TERMINAL", ON THE SOLENOID, WILL PUT OUT FULL BATTERY VOLTAGE.....BOOSTING THE COIL, WHILE THE STARTER TURNS.....WHY THE BOOST?...BECAUSE THE STARTER WOULD NORMALLY BE ROBBING VOLTAGE FROM THE COIL (AND EVERYTHING) AS IT TURNS
SOOOOOO!!! WE GOTTA "S WIRE" WORKING.......I'M WORKING ON IT---I WANT TO MAKE IT AS EZ AS I CAN....LIKE 2ND GRADER LEVEL, SO OTHERS WILL UNDERSTAND, WHO MIGHT READ THIS, OR IF I LINK SOMEONE HERE
YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
SUPER INFO!
A MANUAL!
PICS!
VOLTMETER LITERATE (FOR WHAT WE NEED)
WIPERS.....LATER! IF YOU CHANGE YOUR WIPER SWITCH, AND WIRE UP LIKE AN EARLIER MODEL, MAYBE YOU CAN LOSE THE INTERMITTENT STUFF...........I HAVE THE DIAGRAM YOU CAN USE TO DO THIS!!!!!....BUT LATER!
YES, THE HOSE IS MISSING! IT'S A "TIN FOIL" "MINIATURE CLOTHES DRIER VENT" LOOKING HOSE, A PARTS STORE SHOULD HAVE ONE ("GENERIC")
I KNOW YOU ARE EAGER!
THANKS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS I ASK! (IF I MISS ONE OF YOURS, ASK ME AGAIN!)
I NEED SOME MORE ANSWERS---THIS WAS RUNNING UP UNTIL THE ALARM UNINSTALL??? HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE DISTRIBUTOR OUT OR MOVED IT??
REPLACE THE BLOWN FUSES! THEIR SLOTS SHOULD HAVE HAVE THE CORRECT AMPS WRITTEN ON THE PANEL ABOVE OR BELOW THEM
I WANT TO TO TRY TO START IT WITH THE KEY, ONCE THE FUSES ARE IN PLACE.....RESULTS???
CHECK TO SEE WHAT MAY HAVE BLOWN (AGAIN) THIS IS IMPORTANT!
IF IT STILL DOES NOT CRANK---DO THIS:
THIS IS WHAT YOUR MODULE LOOKS LIKE
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Ignition-Control-Module-BWD_5240484-P_194_R%7CGRPTUNEAMS_____
TO REMOVE YOUR IGNITION MODULE ....ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CONNECTORS GRASP THE WIRES AND PULL HARD (DIGGING W/ A SCREWDRIVER IS SORTA FRUITLESS) IF YOU PULL EVENLY ON THE BUNDLE OF WIRES, IT WILL COME APART AND YOU WON'T BREAK THE LOCKING TABS
OFF TO A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE, YOU GO....THEY USUALLY WILL TEST THESE FOR FREE
LETS WATCH AND SEE IF THEY HOOK UP RIGHT (IF YOU KINDA CAN READ THE CHART THEY ARE READING)
THEN HAVE THEM TEST IT 5-8 TIMES (THIS WILL WARM IT UP) SHOULD IT FAIL THE LAST FEW TESTS.....ANY THING LESS IS LAZINESS....AND YOU MIGHT SUFFER...NOT THEM!
WHAT IF IT FAILS?.............YES, REPLACE IT!
AS YOU PUT YOU HAND ON THEIR DOOR HANDLE TO LEAVE, WITH YOUR NEW ONE............
TURN YOUR BUTT RIGHT AROUND, GO BACK TO THE COUNTER, AND HAVE THEM TEST "THEIR" NEW ONE 5-8 TIMES.
WHY????
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE TEARING YOUR ENTIRE JEEP CJ 5 DOWN (EVEN THE WIRING) FOR 2 DAYS, TEARING YOUR HAIR OUT!.........BECAUSE, IT WILL NOT START!!! .......THEN YOU TAKE THE BRAND NEW, UNTESTED MODULE, BACK TO THE STORE, ONLY TO FIND OUT.....IT TOO, WAS BAD!
BELOW IS A PIC OF THE TESTER AT ADVANCE AUTO......THE CORRECT PIG-TAIL TO TEST YOURS IS RIGHT BESIDE THE MACHINE (I PUT IT THERE!)
AFTER THIS SET OF ANSWERS I GET FROM YOU
I'M GONNA REQUEST THAT YOU SEND ...."NO MORE INFO"!, UNTIL I SEND YOU SOME MORE TESTING FROM DIAGRAMS I AM TRYING TO MAKE YOU
I SORTA NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON MY "BATTLE PLAN"---AND NOT GET SIDE-TRACKED!......AGAIN BEAR WITH ME, I'M HAVING TO MAKE MY STUFF FROM SCRATCH WITH YOUR WIRING ISSUE (MY '79 DIAGRAM IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH WITH "IGNITION")
OK, ANSWER AWAY!........THEN WAIT FOR ME TO RESPOND!
DON'T WORRY--I WILL RETURN!
