I’m hoping that some will be able to help out, this forum has been an excellent source of help in the past….
Yesterday I installed new carpet as the old one was destroyed due to a leaky clutch master cylinder. I took the car for a test drive (I also replaced the clutch master cylinder) and all was fine. I stopped and adjusted the timing and went for another short drive. I let the clutch out too quick and the car stalled, and I started it up immediately. The battery (charge) light, the brake light and light out lights all came on and the voltmeter was showing no charge. I thought that maybe the ignition switch or a glitch in the electrical system, but figured it would be fine after I shut the car off and reset.. Well that is not the case..
I checked for voltage at the alternator 3 pin connector, voltage is present at all points except the black wire (according to my crappy wiring diagram, this is the fusible link from the battery). I also checked the fusible link and all of the fuses in the engine compartment, they are all good.
I took a look at the fuse box in the drivers kick panel and found some suspect fuses, that looked damaged. There are 3 that have been destroyed (they fall apart, the plastic has been eaten away by the brake fluid). Anyway I also noted that the turn signals no longer work either. I took one of the good fuses I had and stuck it in the turn signal location in the fuse box but they still do not work..
If anyone can provide any hints as to where to look it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could direct me to where there is a decent wiring diagram for an 87 that would also be of great assistance.
Best Regards,
