Electrical problem, tracking suggestions - 11/08/21 02:47 AM
Son was driving our 70 Charger RT Sat. (we keep it at his house)
Gave me a call, said car died after a "POP", car would try to restart then die when key released.
I assumed ballast resistor and took a ride to where he was with a spare and my Fluke.
Well, resistor checked OK and new one didn't help.
Found a 15 A fuse blown, replaced it but same results. Had car flat bedded to his house, $90, not too bad.
I'm thinking ignition switch or shorted wire before the ballast??
So what would be the best way to test wiring tomorrow with my tester?
Charger has a Painless system we installed, been about seven years with no hiccups.
Thanks in advance, Joe
