Re: Project XXX AWD WHP Or Bust!

I couldnt agree more with you 93 sometimes, but i did some digging ! I got the car towed to our shop and actually diagnosed it for a bit and after 10 min of tare down i found that my starter solenoid or switch wire got caught between my axle and tranny and pretty much got owned as well as my reverse switch...spend about 15min patching that up amongst other things...once i finished inspecting misc things i came across a huge bundle of melted wire ...pinched between my radiator support bracket the lower driver side one to be excact...where the radiator sits...and well the wire loom was half melted of and all the wires sticking to gether....

since its to much of a pain to pull the radiator right now amongst other things... i fixed the starter wire and reverse wire took a quick peek at the wires i didnt see any exposed copper wire in the patch of molten wires...put a new fuse in..started it ran for about 10 seconds and it died again fuse died...inserted another one same result so i called it a night. I guess tomorrow ill pull the radiator ect and cut the molten section of insulation and wire apart t...wist the wires together put some replacment wire inbetween of course to make up for the cut section of the harness and solder the connection and heat shrink em then electrical tape them and see what happens if that doesnt do it....might as well part it out...or just put a jumper wire in place and push it down the road with the key turned...and call 911
