Re: Ignition Problem
Update: replaced the switch and she fires up! Thanks for the help everyone! One more down in the litany of electrical problems.
So far:
- battery drain = fixed with bigger alternator, replacing bad temp sensor in engine that was always going to ground and turning the electric cooling fan on, wired a direct switch for cooling fan
- headlight blow = fixed with replacing fuse, bulbs, and floor dimmer switch. Now can’t use hi beams for any period of time without switch heating up and causing the lights to go out
- won’t turn over = replaced the starter motor (stock one for IROC Z28)
- won’t stay running = replaced ignition switch
Wondering what the next problem will be haha I feel like once I fix something else in the system, another thing pops up. Wish I could get ahead of it instead of putting out fires but maybe that’s how it has to be. If anyone has any advice for that (aside from spending thousands to completely rewire the truck), let me know!
Shoutout to Bill Thompson too for walking through things with me!
