Just switched engines and need help
Ok, i am having problems getting my truck back to life. It is a 69 blazer that sat
for 8 years(previous owner). I pulled out the old engine and dropped in another newer engine. Problem: I can't get power to the dash unless I am cranking the engine I get no lights(front and rear), no dash power, etc. When I crank the engine, the lights come on and the dash lights up also and gauges work too..... Did I connect something wrong? I checked the starter and figured that if it was wrong, it wouldn't crank when I turned the key. help. Last edited by jakeslim; 09-26-2004 at 02:36 PM. |
