Does the tach have a separate ground also? Sounds like everything else is wired right, might check that out. It should at least move, even if it...
Inside it's basically just terminals so the fuses have something to plug in to, connected to lengths of wire. One side of the fuse would be power...
I think it all comes down to how you want it to look and availability of parts. As long as the materials are good quality, In my opinion a fuse is...
Ok guys, I realized I've probably got a whole wiring job through doing tech help on my phone, so here it is. YES, most of this is on my phone,...
Here's a couple pictures of a 9+3 panel mounted to a display board. It's pulled down flat, with no standoffs or spacers, the board is carpet...
Right, It's just something that's going to be hard to actually organize. Seems like something will be covered multiple times in the same post too,...
I'll look through my pictures for some ideas (need more build pictures sent in guys!) It all varies a lot. I've had guys separate out the fuse...
All true, you could just build something with about 2 circuit breakers and a terminal strip (which I've been thinking about doing) for a simple...
I always find it cheaper to buy something close to what I need and modify it on my own. Just because I don't count labor hours when I'm working on...
I know It's going to be more work, but do you guys think this type of information would be better divided up? Like a bulb wiring thread, turn...
So I had a couple questions about wiring a Ford starter solenoid this morning. Your solenoid is basically a heavy duty relay. A relay takes (power...
Meant to post this earlier, but you guys know how when you get all that stuff rolling around in your head, something is going to fall out! Had a...
I talk a lot of people out of the big 21 circuit kits, because most people don't need that. In the beginning that's all that was out there. We can...
Sometimes we get guys that want to mount the fuse panel in another location, maybe not the trunk, but under the seat, or over on the right side of...
You've probably used yours once or twice, haha. Like on some old wiper motors, power window motors, relays. I've started a few cars with mine too
Figured I'd post a picture of the fuse panel with dimensions, in case anyone needed it. This is for the 9+3 and 16 circuit kits. For the 8 circuit...
Nice! I remember using my Power Probe III on a Pinto engine. The key did nothing, no click, starter, or anything. I probed the engine block and it...
I use mine all the time, but it only does what it's supposed to do, and you have to learn how to interpret what it's telling you. You can have the...
If it's a 2 wire self grounding socket in the housing, you could try to run a ground wire up inside the housing and attach with a ring terminal,...
Thanks! This is Jeremy, I've been doing the tech here at Rebel Wire for a while. I wasn't sure how the interview with Roy Boy would turn out. We...
What do you think about using terminal strips or blocks and running ground wires to that (for gauges,lights, etc)? You'll definitely need the...
Great! Let me know if anything changes on it.
Me too, the days of "well that part is new, can't be that" are over. I hate to question everything but it's a must now
I don't know if the loose ground and poor connection could be arcing between the wire (terminal) and actual ground, causing spikes... or if it's...
The headlight ground would be the first place I'd look. Just had a Shoebox Ford doing that, and it was a loose ground wire. Unless the bulbs are...
While I'm thinking about wiring tools, here's my favorite, Power Probe. I just use the Power Probe III, It does all I need. It's got a positive...
I don't remember if I posted this already, but here's a short video of using a set of ratcheting crimpers to put your terminals on. This would be...
I should have asked to be sure, just running 1157 bulbs all the way around an a old style 552 thermal flasher? If so, I'd try changing the...
I don't use any, but I get a lot of calls on them, so somebody's buying them, lol
