Bet he blew you away. LOL, sure did me. Just supposed to put a new wire with fusible link wire from Autozone. That was all. What you see is what I got.

He still wont answer anything. Better be packing his house up and moving before I become mobile.

Might come down to buck shot from both sides of the front door! LOL

nowhere did I say he. ;)

Hell I wish my wife would have done it. Lol, she would have been too worried about getting it wrong, and asked me 500 questions about that one 2 foot wire.

My brother stopped by and put in work for me! Stayed a little longer than he was supposed to, says his wife. He got it to the bones for me.

Here is what he found. He says it appears to only be those four wires. Got lucky I suppose. About time something went my way!

He didn't even tell me. My wife gave him her keys. He didn't want me trying to come help. LOL

He said to just wire a push button in. That those are ignition wires. Says it didnt make it all the way to switch that bad, but did bubble the coating all the way up.

Battery is disconnected. These tires had flat spots one time that took forever to go away. She was just being a good wife.

I am unable to work on it, but I need to diagnose/see it. I need something to do right now other than guess what it is.
I wish i was closer to you man, id come be your eyes!

This was totally random. My brother never helps me do ****. My wife has been mowing our yard for gods sake.

Not a complaint, just an observation.

I am very thankful.

Hopefully he locked it all up.

So some new wire, push button, and figure out those red wires to the fuse block, then hopefully a deep grumble from the bowels of hell!


Oh, then get it all put back together, cant forget that part. I will be laying on the porch for the bowels of hell part.

My brother said he took a look at the starter and it appears some wires shorted on the header.

The metal tube that was supposed to shield them was able to move around.

Said he saw that at the end, no pic on that.

Probably for the best. Have my wife get you a portrait quality picture. LOL

Part of your problem led me to find something wrong with mine wich has not led any help to my electrical issue. Ugh my fuse hanging from my junction block blew, swapped it and theres no heater fan. So now ive got no cig lighter, no clock, no blower function and a backwards working dome light. And no legit reason found...:mad3::suicide:
