Re: [Amc-list] electircal still

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had the set of contact points in the starter cause problems once. I
could not get it to turn by hot jumping the solenoid.
( A pal suggested trying to ark the relay to get the starter to turn over
and this resulted in nothing.)
I had to reach under the car in a parking lot and pull the starter, then
remove the little cover plate over the points and file the contact surface
of the points. This may be part of your problem, but it sounds like more
than that.

When the ignition is in the off  position the volts are at 12. When the
ignition is in the accessory position the volts go to 0. When the dash light
switch is on the volts are fine and they come on. When the headlamps are
turned on the volts go 0 andthey are dim.

suggested, and then check the column.  A pal suggested trying to ark the
