Gary - - Sounds like your starter is turning but your ignition is not engaged. While working on this problem, consider checking your bulkhead connections, & fusible link. I had this problem once, but currently forget what the solution was. .. There's a temporary trick to bypass bulkhead by...

Thanks Marty, much has happened since I posted on this last. The headlights were all blown out, and cleaning up the grounds and connectors, as well as replacing the voltage regulator has solved all my electrical problems for the moment. I'm not 100% sure why the head lights were blown out...

Yes, thanks, conductive grease rather. thanks for catching that.

Thanks Boydsdodge, Head light switch: the head light switch is in good shape and pins out just like a spare used one, worked when removed 30 years ago. (Top and bottom are common in full upright position, open other wise. Middle three swap common between half way up and full upright, if you...

Hey Everybody, HISTORY: It started out as chasing down why my headlights don't work. The head lights initially (as received with Rupert) only worked on high beams only, leading me to start with the hi-low dimmer switch (on the floor). The wiring looks fine, and checking out the functionality...

3175375, I howled on that one. Shamu! That's great. Perfect name. Regarding the fix, congrats! I have to chase down a head light bug soon, if I want to drive at night during Chrysler season, which is upon us. I know it's a ground. Thanks for the laugh!

It's been a month + since your last post, how'd you make out? If jumping the starting solenoid on the fire wall does not result in turning the started motor, inspect/clean the terminal on the solenoid, right next to the starter. It's the small wire. If you have a good battery, and are jumping...

Drivers side, pretty sure. Alternately, and for emergency purposes you can ground the starting relay to the battery. This will allow you to start it in ANY gear, but poses a risk for when you accidentally leave it in gear in a shopping center and someone is in front of the car/behind, etc. when...

Good points. thanks again.

Thanks, sounds like the easy route for now... wouldn't happen to know which terminal that is off hand by chance? thanks, Mike

Thanks Alan, that's exactly what I did. Didn't throw the new ballast away yet, though. Mike

Hello again Mopar friends, While attempting to start the Newport, after the rebuilt motor and trans are installed (with new Electronic ignition), she won't turn over. If I jump the relay on the fire wall with a screw driver, it will turn over, but not with turning over with the key. When I...

Yes, I got that. Thanks! Thanks for the very useful help folks. Much appreciated. Mike

Hello Mopar friends, I'm in the middle of an electronic ignition switch over for a 68 newport. I have the orange box, new electronic distributor, firewall replacement unit (voltage regulator?) small wiring harness with: * orange box plug * connector for new distributor 3 wires 1 wire goes to...

Where did I get it? I don't recall. Those brain cells were written over. Recently discovered the harness in the garage. Probably got it in 2016 +/-. Thanks for the tip on the VR! & Ballast resistor & dual field. The schooner came with the wrong alternator, might as well fix that too...

Fellow Chrysler Enthusiasts, With recent abundant time on my hands, I'm finally getting around to putting the parts acquired over the years into their respective Chryslers. I've never swapped out a points ignition for electronic, but, here goes the experiment. Below is a pic of a new...

Thanks FuryDan66. That gauge looks right in the middle (to me anyway), not working. Sometimes I've had issues with my 50 year old wiring harness and the battery was not charging. I could tool around town ok for a while, but as the new battery wore down,.... I had a similar crisis. I then...

Is it charging (trying to charge) while running? What does the charging voltage read?
