Re: 79 Dodge starter problem
After THOROUGHLY checking the starting relay, Check the following: Bulk head connector pins, these were a major trouble spot
on the older checks, next time it dies, connect a set of jumper cables from the brake master cylinder to the alternator bracket(basically
from the body to the engine, and see if starts, if this is the case this is a bad chassis to bofy ground, there is a ground strap that
connects from the body to the back of the engine, see if its still there. Another problem is a bad fusible link, when they burnt up they
can sometimes sit in such a position that they will connect themselves inside the insulation, but will arc out when a load is put on
the wire..they are located mostly in the main harness near the battery and soft insulation usually about 12"long..check them for
continuity while moving them around..One of these will probably be your problem or put you in the right area..Maxt
