My distributer coil just burnt out and im putting one in. The guy thats working on it for me says that there is a shorted wire or something connected to my rpm guage that burnt it out!

I just did a dash swap and everything ran fine....except when i pressed the rear defrost my cruise control? sounds weard! but anyways did anyone have this problem with there dizzy? any comments would help and if anyone has any pics of what wire it might be i would be VERY greatful, THANKS

 

if you just did a dash swap then it could be any of the wires you saw while doing it. One could be pinched or grounding out on something. Whats the edeal with the defrost and cruise?? This is one of those tedious jobs, you have to find the wire thats malfunctioning.

Ok sounds like a good start... anymore comments

 

Whats the deal with defrost and cruise?????

 

i dont know!!! I had grey interior in my EH and i put "pimp" black interior. Every plug under the dash will not plug into anyother plug under the dash. I even labeled all of the wires? I really don't know and i wish someone would have the answer to why my dizzy is shorting out! It shorts out every time i plug in my stock tach!!! HELP

 

anyone else?

 

BUMP! anyone?

 

You my friend is screwed, might as well take your whole dash apart again and figure out which wire you messed up on.

 

Theres really no other way, you have to find the wire thats crossed. Start with the tach wires and follow them down looking for a cut wire or something in that effect.

FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG!!! the dumb-*** that i bought the car from didnt connect the wire from the dizzy that he had to his RICED out monster tach and when i did my dash swap the wire was hanging down and hit the frame when i hit a bump

OH WELL, no damage done and 80 dollars later shes runnin again
