  1. Mid70's Chrysler Fanatic

    Is it the ignition switch or relay that's failing? ('74)

    Yeah, I've got this problem with my Dakota, off and on. When it fights back in Park, I just move the lever to N and fire 'er up. I assumed that the NSS is okay because the wagon wouldn't start in either P or N. Do these switches ever "go" such that neither position works?

    Is it the ignition switch or relay that's failing? ('74)

    It has the seatbelt interlock. The sensors under the front seats have been unplugged, and it gives me no interference. (I tend to buckle up after starting the engine.) The column is the standard one. The aforementioned trouble has been in the past month, and I drive this wagon a lot.

    Is it the ignition switch or relay that's failing? ('74)

    On occasion, the ignition switch on my T&C does nothing when I turn it to START. It doesn't matter if the shift lever is in Park or Neutral. If I turn the key to ON and jump the relay terminals, it'll start fine. In the thread, "Intermittent Ignition Switch Failure", the OP states that his...

    Electrical Keeps Getting Worse-77 New Yorker

    Oh yes. Among my vehicular hoard is a '76 Winnebago (Dodge B-van cutaway chassis) where the lights acted as if they were possessed: shifting into reverse activated the brake lights, for one example. After much failure at troubleshooting, I discovered that the ground connection for the taillights...

    Electronic ign, no spark.

    I gotta follow this thread because I'm having similar problems with my '74 T&C. Of course it would die on a highway, miles from home, rather than in my driveway - and right between my house payment and Payday. At least the mechanics at work (actual mechanics, unlike the armchair one described...

    System charges at high RPM only

    System charges at high RPM only

    Finally got to work on the car last week. This relentless winter we've been having...aargh! Anyway: It was the alternator. I replaced it with a lifetime-warranty rebuilt unit and it worked like a charm! Incidentally, I decided to replace the V-belts, and the parts clerk brought out their...

    System charges at high RPM only

    My '74 T&C won't start without a jump. The battery is less than a year old. I noticed that the system doesn't charge unless the engine is running at high r.p.m.'s. At lower speeds the ammeter reads low and I can't even get the turn signals to work; the w/s wipers are really slo-o-o-w, etc. Put...
