- 74 CJ5, some stuff done to it (I'm sorting it all out)
So, when I bought this it was explained the ignition switch didn't work (had to stall it to kill it)... I'm okay with that, that's something I can and have solved in the past.
After replacing that, it's not that... Tracked it down to the alternator keeps feeding the system, disconnected she starts and dies on command.
Trying to make some sense of my wiring and the schematics I've found for CJ's online, and that hasn't happened yet. Got to thinking, perhaps there's a mod or the schematics aren't right or something that you guys might know about.
So, here it is, my sad paintbrush drawing of my charging system. Any clever ideas?
Thanks
