New wiring issue….

[mgFray]

You’ve got to see this to believe it.



circuit 71C, windshield wiper circuit. Apparently was rubbing on the steering shaft, shorted, welded itself to the steering shaft knuckle, and then (luckily) broke. Argh, now I have to find both ends and get this fixed, but could have been worse!

Found more wires that were chaffed, looks like the rest are all grounds.. but I’ve got about 8 wires it “fix”.. at least

First picture was the washer sprayed circuit you can see where the wire melted…

second bundle is a bunch of dash grounds. They are both chaffed and I found them connected with a red wire nut.

Had some of my wires in the hood harness (headlights and marker lights) that were badly chafed like that. Now I'm going to inspect under and behind the dash!

Well wiring is now repaired. All of the stuff in the left of the dash is reconnected. Need to finish installing the instruments and the high beam switch. Then hopefully it works. (So much for todays plan to go to the lumberyard for remodeling supplies)

And the rest of the dash is reassembled, the HMMWV is running all the lights, gauges, wiper motor/pump, etc work
