Hi,
I am working on a 1979 HJ45 from Aus and am trying to trace a voltage drop when the ignition is turned on.
With the ignition off i get the full 12.x volts to the ignition switch, the top 4 fuses, basically to everything that would normally get it.
As soon as the ignition is turned on the lower fuses get powered, but the power to all of the fuses and ancillary circuits drops to 9-10 volts.
Apart from the power direct to the starter I have a white wire and a black/red wire that appear to go in to the loom and head off in to the cab and across to the glow plug relay and starter relay under the glove box.
The power for the fuses appears to be coming from some white/blue wires and I am assuming we have a joint issue further up the wiring, but I can't tell where these white/blue wires get their power from.
Before I start stripping back the whole loom, does anyone here have any suggestions where to start?
Thanks.
