HELP! no power to ignition, guages, etc. smoked and sparked

Postby Tsbourne09 » Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:41 pm

After installing my denny t pump top delete i stuck my key in the ignition and turned it over and it smoked and popped under the hood in front of the drivers seat. I did not turn the motor over just to the setting where your aux equiptment and messgage center comes on "wait to start". now it will not come on at all and will not turn over period. still have my dome light and headlights. no radio or anything else. what could it be!?

Did you look and see if you left something touching the grid heaters hot post. That could ground out and might burn up your fuse links on the drivers front inner fender.

Since you were around the IP, I'm betting the FSS wire is touching something.

Check the orange fusible link in the duckbill on the drivers side fender. That's the key-on power and should be what got fried.

Sorry, I believe it's a red wire. 2nd one in, and it's not the big one that goes to the alternator. See the bottom post of the no radio thread below this for a pic.

Try not to make a habit of doing things like this. By feeding power to the circuit from the wrong end, you've bypassed all the fuses that were there to protect it. After you check all your inside fuses again, cut that wire in the duckbill off, after the fusible link section, and run from the hot into it.

Run a hot wire and fusable link to the two wires that were fed by the orange wire. It's the second one from the left. If you keep back feeding threw the system you can fry the whole wiring harness is something is still grounding out. That's if we are talking about the same wires.

Alright, here's a pic of the duckbill, of the two missing out of mine it's the smaller wire on the left:

Image

And, on my 1990 W250(your truck *may* have different colors) it goes to this wire. This red wire, the one pulled out and with a knife pointing at it towards the edge, goes into the drivers side of the firewall bulkhead:

This is the battery hot that goes to your keyswitch, and looks to be your problem.
