So I got the drivers side working and controlling the passengers side window, but the passenger side switch would never control the passenger window. I planned to take the new NOS switch apart to check the contacts and...... blam the old plastic casing disentigrated into 5 peices. Such is my luck

Thanks big John I just purchased the passenger switch off eBay as NOS .. but who's to say. I will check the jumpers

Ok I purchased an 83 D350 crew cab with power windows and locks in the front and manual in the rear. Both power windows were inoperable at purchase as were the locks. I pulled the regulators and motors the drivers side motor was toast. I rebuilt both motors and replaced the drivers side...

Figured it out. Dodge trucks have 2 power sources for headlight switch. One of the power sources was dead. Got it straightened out.

Ok here is the update on the truck head light issue. I took out the switch I just installed and checked it with an ohm meter. The ohm meter would only go to 0 momentarily when the knob was partially pulled out. It would not go to 0 ( stayed at 1) when it was in its correct stop location. I...

Thanks! Good place to start

No worries. 1983 dodge d350 Royal SE crew cab dually prospector. Other forums have said the problem is the draw of the running lights is too high due to the clearance lights on the cab, tailgate lights etc. I have the FSM here is the diagram.

There is no burning of wires or heat, here is what's happening. Pull out headlight switch, running lights, tail lights, and dash lights only come on momentarily before the stop ( groove to have just the running lights on). If I pull all the way to the stop the lights go off. If I pull the head...

Bjs thank you I will test today and get back with result

Pics- looks pretty grimey. Probably should have replaced already. I just didn't know wether to go with original or Petronix

Big John Plugs, belts, and wires have been replaced as have fluids Have not replaced fuel pump or water pump as they have been working fine. Car does not drain battery even when has sat 2-3 weeks it still cranks. I have rebuilt the carb which fixed stumbling during excelleration and cold start...

Thanks speed kills this is a long thread and yes you re correct the starter was failing, but it has been replaced and the car is still struggling to start when up to temp.

Would bad points cause struggling to start when hot? Car runs great on the road and starts right up when cold. Only seems to struggle after heat soak

No I have not. Bought car 3 years ago guess I should have done that. Why do bad points look like? Black/ charred? Have thought about upgrading to the Petronius but have heard mixed reviews here. What are halls thoughts

would crank normally never slowed down with new starter.

UPDATE Car running cool on the highway with new fan clutch, but still having an issue with hard starts after heat soak. I believe the gas is boiling creating a vapor lock. So I have heard about carb spacers, heat shields, and return lines. Thoughts? I have the factory dual snorkel air...

Old fan clutch New fan clutch that is thermal. Can't tell if the original is though I see no spring

Ok I'll swap it out and report back! As always huge thanks to all contributors in this forum!

Points & condenser Brown wire output from starter switch when turning key produces 9.5v when cranking. Something wasn't making sense so I went back and checked voltage to coil when cranking and it was 9V. I must not have had a good ground when I did the same test earlier and got 4V. So does...

Ok so to recap. The car starts great when cold. Starter will crank and even when I disconnect coil to check starter cables the starter never seemed to slow down or get tired. When the car is up to temp and I shut it off if I come back to start it it will struggle. The starter will turn at...
