jeepcj7304 10 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) now that the motor is bolted in I am working on getting this wiring straight. Any one know what this resistor is for? It was bolted to the fender beside the voltage regulator. From the wiring Diagram I found on the web it appears to be A radio suppression condenser. Is this correct and do I need it? If so where does it connect to? The second picture is of some sort of connection block I assume. The one edge you can see is just frayed wire that was bolted to the firewall as a ground obviously not a good one. Can I eliminate this and just connect all the wires direct. If so where does this ground originate. Thanks in advance. Edited October 1, 2012 by jeepcj7304 updated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 i don't believe that's a resistor. i think it's a capacitor for noise suppression (radio). there is a plug for it at the voltage regulator area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepcj7304 10 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 Where does it plug into mine is just cut. Only three wires are going to the regulator. Also the orange off the alternator hours nowhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemon Owner 11 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 Buckeye is correct, it is a capacitor for radio noise suppression. My factory cap plugs into the same location as buckeye pic shows. I think it is the A terminal of the regulator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepcj7304 10 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 Ok next problem now that I at least think the alt wiring is fixed I went to start the fresh motor and nothing. If I put power to the S terminal of the starter solenoid it fires right up. Obviously I screwed something up any idea where it could have been only touched the wiring right at the alternator, regulator, and starter relay.

jeepcj7304 10 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 after a little more checking I found that I have continuity to about 5 inches before it goes through the firewall on the red w/blue line off the S terminal. Then when I check it at the switch I do not have continuity. Does this wire go through a fuse or relay at all? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepcj7304 10 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 I have power coming off the ignition switch when I turn it to start. Does this then go through the Neutral safety switch? If so is there a way to bypass the NSS or test it to find out if this is the issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketyler 15 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 You can jumper the nss switch at the 4pin firewall plug. You will need a wiring diagram to determine which to jumper across. If you don't have one I can post it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keecho 10 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 Just jumper the 2 red/blue wires on the 4 pin plug at the firewall, make a wire 2-3 inches long male plug on one end and female on other end. If you have a manual trans this same jumper wire is used stock. Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
