ArdWrknTrk Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Ok, what are the resistors for? You need to be careful mounting anything that gets hot to the inner fenders, they are plastic. To replace the burnt up resistor wire In the fuel pump circuit. ^^^ I honestly think the wire has more area to dissipate heat, but I'm not building the harness.

Be better to mount it on metal... like near the starter solenoid or voltage regulator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I think I may still have the one I took off Darth. I kept all of that incase someone needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Danny doesn't want it.... I meant the metal body like next to the starter solenoid or something. This is definitely going to be an expirement. It could very well burn up, or be awesome. I was hoping to use something like an ATC/ATO maxi diode but that fell through with the ford box breaking up. Here is the replacement option for that relay box I ordered. It seems pretty solid and is sealed as well. Also this fused distribution block.

Something had to be significantly wrong. Probably stemming from other aftermarket wire or parts. You have an 8 ohm resistance wire in the dash for example.

(maybe add some heatsink grease?) Up here it would be convenient to attach it to the cowl panel so it can melt ice in winter! I've been scorched by those things in too many Mopar's back in the day!

LOL that's a fantastic idea keep the ice at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
