True, but several things. One, I felt a resetting fuse could hide what was happening when it started to reset. Two, luckily I don't have much in rain where I am and would never drive my cars in rain. Three, I rarely drive one of them at night. Four, the other four run the headlights and the...

I have now done away with those 30 amp circuit breakers and moved onto blade fuses in a small box. Seen here is the one in my Cougar which supplies low beams, high beams, ignition, and electric choke. A great theft deterrent also. I just remove the good 15 amp blade fuse and insert a bad one...

I used the Ford E-coil. So a real mix of Mopar, GM, Ford, and Bosch.

You may recall that is exactly what I did in my Polara. Fabricated using a Mopar distributor and GM HEI module. Love it.

Along with that you can also measure the voltage at one of the headlight connectors while the car is running to see what you have there. Every time I did that I would get around 9.5V at those connectors. With my relays I get what my battery is getting when the car is running which is in excess...

As you know that is what I built for my car. GM HEI and Ford E-Coil through a relay.

These are the red 1157s I use which anyone can use. Don, who owns WCCA, is very well known in the Cougar community and is a straight forward guy and only sells reliable stuff he knows. So when Don says these are the best for our Cougars that is good enough for me. His LEDs also can be found in...

Looks just like the one I built 5 years ago. Circuit breaker on other side instead.

None since I did it in 2019.

None

I already did that on my 73 back in 2019.

Swapped the solenoid out and all is good. Be interested in what the inside of the one removed looks like if I can get into it. I'm going to remember that test light suggestion as electricity is not my thing.

Test light results: #1 Nothing disconnected at starter solenoid #2 Starter cable disconnected at starter solenoid #3 Starter and now ignition disconnect at starter solenoid

More research and I think I'll start with the relay on the starter which I have heard from others that the contacts can melt together causing all power to keep going to the starter and cause the rattle. That relay also sends 12V to the ignition coil to compensate for the voltage drop while the...

A test light, huh? I have one so this is a great suggestion. I believe my trouble is inside this below

I looked up parasitic draw but one that means connect the battery which is impossible. Usually those draws are in milliamps and not dozens of amps. Two, the draw was so big you should see the negative terminal as compared to the positive terminal. What happened in the 30 seconds between the two...

Not in my Polara but the Mercury. I was working on cleaning up the power window motor on the passenger side. I wanted to see it in action with the panels off to see why slow. So I connected the battery and nothing from it's switch. I then tried the main switch and got nothing. I then decided to...

He has three threads going on the same topic with one having the pictures.

...and then again they might not go to anything in your car if what they went to was an option you don't have.

You left out the Hindenburg...
