Hey Chris (mr lucky)

This one gave me a run for the money
It was the J2 DBL/W wire at the firewall bulkhead.We found a bad connection.The wire was not making good contact where the wire is crimped to the male blade terminal inside the 8 wire connector.The J2 goes from the Ignition switch to the bulkhead then feeds the Regulator which in turn feeds the resistor,coil,alt,and solenoid.
Hope this helps someone




So was it caused by the shorting of the solenoid wire, a bad connection or a combination of both?

my feeling is that the wire got hot and did something to the connector.i think the wire connector fitment might have been iffy to begin with and this just added to the problem.its a repro a12 wiring engine harness.
