Reply to "Electrical Problem HELP"

It all started when I installed a stereo! At on point I forgot to disconnect the battery and POP! I lost all power to the car. I was told that if I put a jumper between those wires it would regain power and it did. I would just have to once in awhile touch those wires. My ammeter still bounced like normal etc..

Then a few weeks ago I accidentally hit one of the wires with my knee and it basically melted my jumper on the ammeter so I replaced it and it worked once again. So I took off down the street and maybe got 8 houses down and it just
died completely and the ammeter stopped all together.

I call PI Motorsports and they said just take the wires off the ammeter and bolt them together so I did and then I got the click sound etc from the starter. I took the starter out because It was going anyway and it done for. So I replaced the new starter today and it will turn over better than ever now but just wont fire up! But on the plus side my wiper resevoir now works and blinkers work once again.

I hooked a meter on the coil and got 6 volts and like I said above when I checked the coil I only saw a spark when I turned the key off after turning it over.

All my gauges work except ammeter and the fuel gauge does work showing fuel when the key is turned on. I never knew my horn worked with key off and my wipers work too when the key is out of the ignition. Is that normal too? I never use my wipers because I dont ever drive in the rain.

So you think it could be the ignition and try the jumper you guys are talking about?

I can tell you these cars you learn something different everytime you work on them!

If you can think of anything else that would be great! Thanks!
