Re: No Electrical power battteries 100%???

It was a long time ago and those sectors in my brain may have been over-written with new data.

From the remaining files, I removed the bolt in the bulkhead connector under the hood (on the firewall) and cleaned the contacts. I noticed that he purple wire was loose in the plastic bulkhead connector. Seems like the PO had the key in the "start" position for a long time and the brass terminal got hot enough to melt some of the plastic. Removed the terminal from the large Bulkhead plug for cleaning.

My friend had a portable sand blast set up so he hit the terminal real good and we put it back together with some Di-electric grease. I made sure to "push" the purple wire in after reassembly. Should have also looked at the other side terminal but never got back around to it.

Don't remember having a problem after then and before selling it.
