Clashez Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I'm getting no power to the black and white wire that goes into the back of the ignition switch. I checked all fuses they seem to be fine. Does anybody know if the wire leads to some kind of fuse or relay it connects to or is it a straight 12 amp connection Edited May 2, 2013 by Clashez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Check fusible link. Where did you come up with "12 amp connection"? I don't think that anybody out here is a fuse or a relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domzs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Need to use a voltmeter to make sure they are good . What year car are you working on ? Edited May 3, 2013 by Domzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Well, you may be thinking of it the wrong way round... The Black/White wire is energized by the ignition switch at IGN ON and generally goes on to power EFI relay, coil, ignitor on turbo cars, and various and sundry other things. The source voltage comes from a White/(usually) Black (sometimes White/Red) from the battery and/or alternator output - to the switch... If you have voltage on the source wire, but no voltage on the B/W when you turn the IGN switch to the ON position, signs would point to a bad Ignition switch. That should all be in the FSM for your particular model. Edited May 3, 2013 by cgsheen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the voltage gage and fuel gage will work and headlights ( hell wiper wont come on , turn signals wont come on ,) Edited May 3, 2013 by Clashez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Check your White/Black wire ( power to ign. switch ) . If it has power then your ign. switch is bad ( electrical part ) . As CGSHEEN stated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
