Re: Move dash wires = no start

1. In the engine compartment, in the area of the headlights (there's one on both sides) are in line fuse holders. They look lie rubber blobs or a wad of electrical tape on a wire. Inside the are short glass fuses. If blown, the p/u will NOT start.

2. In the engine compartment where the engine wire harness plugs into the fire wall (I may have mentioned this before, maybe not to you...). Unplug the harness, look closely to see if one of the connections has melted the plastic plug around it......

Number 2 problem can be intermittent, and kill the engine, any time...

The two 4 amp fuses control whether the amp gauge works or not. They do not have anything to do with the whether the engine starts or not. The fusible link from the battery to the junction block on the inside of the fender will cause no power at the fuse box if it is blown or melted..... That's a good thing to check.
