The ol girl made it to the 300000 club this morning. She still running strong and at 32 years old I think that’s pretty good.

I did in fact put the old one back in and it failed again. So my best guess is that it makes enough contact for continuity but when it has voltage to the switch side it is not closing good enough to let the full voltage through

The first pic is the relay box under the hood the new gold colored relay is the one that I replaced

Applied 12v supply to the coil side and checked continuity on the switch side

Just tried to start my 1991 cruiser but it wouldn’t start. Also the check engine light wasn’t on with the key in the on position. I checked the ecu fuses in the dash by your left knee they were good so I checked the relay under the hood and it appeared to be good. Also checked the fusible link...

I’ve owned this 80 for 2 years now. It is my daily driver I put approximately 80 miles a day back forth to work. When I bought it had just over 250,000 miles on it now it has 281,000 on it and still going strong.

This weekend I replaced the rear brakes, from the e-brake bell crank to the drums. Then of course had to go for a drive to make sure they work.

Finally had a chance to play in the snow. We don’t get much in Oklahoma

I didn’t short it out but I figured out what was going on the connector on the back of the alternator was not fully engaged so it was causing the system to go in and out I simply pushed it in until it clicked and everything started working
