Ya know I didnt think about jumping her, just mild off road trails and expedition cruising, but that sounds fun...

I am at a standstill... It sucks because I planned on pulling a $800 junk body with good engine one next to her for a heart transplant, but with the potential to have authorities involved again, have done nothing... I saw a guy who does fences that swing in, so my only choice is likely moving it to the back yard, or kickin it dowm the road which with so much time in, I am not ready to do.


But I got the fusable link in with 20amp fuse.. If it blows I can go up....

Well I went out again with good intentions... Its 104 today so I called it after another hour or so..
Took the fuse box off fender to see aboit the "black/white" wire... Dont see it amd supposedly haynes is commonly wrong on this due to different models...
The ignition wire is 60amp white and green wire...

But before splicing into it, I ran the power wire straight to the engine...and after firing her up and letting her heat up, it mever came on, so while not trying to overheat, turned in ac and stock ac fan cooled it down fairly good on its own...

So I dont know if the module/ controller is bad, or I need to just basic wire it to see what is the cause.... I am starting to get cross eyed and figure I'll do better when it's less hot...

I downloaded 800 pg fsm offline...for these three pics to help, but there was another book, just for wiring, so didnt find specifically what I was looking for, but again said B/W wire was ignition...

The logic probe is way better then a test light imho. Only thing better then that is a power probe but if you don't know what your doing with one you can try all kinds of stuff.

The logic probe was worth every penny. I have only had the one that logjts up for positive, but not red for positive, and green for negative... Should make finding key on easy when im off next
