This 82 K10 is trying to beat me....
Replaced the motor, now I have an electrical problem. When the key is inserted into the ignition and turned on, I have power (lights on, buzzers, etc). When the key is turned to ignition, power cuts out. No power at all. No lights, buzzers, etc. If I disconnect and reconnect the negative from the battery, I have power again, but loose it as soon as the ignition is turned to try and start the motor.
Just prior to this happening (two days ago), The motor turned over, and white smoke came from the negative terminal on the battery. Shut the motor down and disconnected the battery. Now, this....
Since this problem started, I have done the following: Replaced the alternator, replaced and secured grounding straps. Replaced all fuseable links (two by the starter and one on the firewall).
Thoughts on what I over looked? Thoughts on what is causing this?
Thanks in advance.
