Hello folks,
I just bought a 67 Newport Custom coupe. The owner complained of electrical issues, so I figured it was probably something fairly simple, so I took a chance and bought the car.
Here's what I can tell you:
*Power windows all work without the key in the ignition.
*Nothing else electrical works. When the key is turned to the "on" position, there are no idiot lights and the starter does not crank. No lights or anything else electrical.
*He replaced the voltage regulator and the alternator.
*At least 2 ballast resistors were on the floor. There is a ballast resistor mounted near the coil.
OK, so I have limited experience with C-bodied Chryslers, so if someone out there could help me with some suggestions as to how to diagnose the issue, I'd appreciate it . The battery tests OK, so my first plan was to clean the negative connection at the block, and clean all the connections at the starter.
Thanks a lot for any advice you may be able to offer. Rich
