sick620

so hey dudes I fixed my ground wire for my deck... im still having issues... I have it wired to stock fusebox along with my tachometer.. when I run any electrical at all (like blink to the right or left) my stereo shuts off...... run window wipers.... stereo shut off.... turn on fan.... stereo shuts off..... also if I turn on my turn signal my tach light flashes on and off with the blinker.... Is this just a issue because I have it wired to stock fuse box or is this a bigger issue with grounds like daniel was saying above?

theres like 5 or more of us coming from idaho...

sweet mane but we need pics of the truck!! :)

jayden whats your plans for this thing? is it going to be a parts truck? also do you want my xtra L16? ive left you a few messages...

yes dan you can leave... the gates open all day and people come and go as they please... but you have to back by 8? I think 8... thats when they lock the gates

So yo what time is everyone going to be there friday? all of us coming from Idaho are thinking we will leave at 5 am friday morning... If someone breaks down or something that still gives us time and we should be there by 3pm, but probably more like 1 or 2 thinking positively... What time do the grounds open on friday? will we be able to set up camp early? some of us have been talkin about leaving super early like 3am or even driving thru the night... what do you dudes think about that? also does anybody want to camp out sunday night as well? :) let us know! :)

my fuel gauge and temp gauge dont work they just go crazy all the time... do I need a new voltage regulator on circuit board or is there a way to repair old one?

dude dosnt everybody know by now? skibs a fawcking scientist and shit

ratty datsun is the only anti theft you need...

thats sweet skibby :) good find :)

hey but how about those datsuns? huh huh? pretty cool rigs I say.

ok so I just fixed the size of the positive on the alternator, I had some positive wire for a car amplifier it was only 12 gauge, I cut two pieces braded them together and put connectors on each end... everything is working on the truck... the window wipers dont seem to be going as fast as they should, and when I pull them twice I get the same speed as if I pull them once.. the stereo which is a 200watt panasonic deck (only hooked to one small speaker) is turning off and on when I pull the wiper switch or the heater fan switch,,, other wise the charging system is fine ( i can run headlights, brights, heater fan, stereo, and hazards all at the same time with little alternator draw),,, the stereo issues may be due to a bad ground still because its grounded to the underside of the dash where the previous owner had it....

hey thanks daniel :) today I installed the freshly vinegar'ed fuse box... after it soaked for a long time I hit it with a tooth brush and its pretty shiney now... I ran a wire from alt to starter, I would like to install one larger because I think this ones about 10 gauge.... now everything on the truck works :) headlights, stereo, blinkers, brake lights, EVERYTHING :) Im going to continue cleaning up the wiring though,,..

fawcking pot heads (insert face palm) :D

moral of the story if you are going to drive like an idiot buy a honda? :lol: I hate seeing hurt datsuns :(

isnt it just 2 wires to wire in electric dizzy? haha still plus one for you and jefe

hell ya man good luck finding a 620.. best trucks EVER :)

dude I love japanese 620's :)

Hey anyone going to canby off of I84? We will have 5 or so coming from Idaho/ I84.. You can caravan with us.. let me know :)

you guys selling any cheap 2 doors over there :) Cant wait to see all you crazy mofo's at canby! :)

thanks for the diagram matt

Banzai its a 3 wire... like the one that bonvo did a write up on... what do you mean by old voltage regulator connector shorting out ( 2 jumpers) ? can you supply a picture of the connector you speak of? 2 jumpers? I knew to wiring so I dont know all the terms.... im going to try routing a wire to the starter like you say... how big of gauge do you recomend for that? thanks for the info

dude lots of good info thanks alot! :) Im soaking the fuse box in vinegar as we speak... Im going to try what you said... thanks!

72 521.... So you need to know I just put a different motor in it... L16 before motor swap I was starting to have wiper issues they wouldnt work period... the reason the motor swap is vital information for this thread is because the L16 I put in has a 105 amp chevy alternator... So after motor swap I wired in the 105 alternator and Im pushing 14.5 volts all day... after the swap.... wipers worked but they go SUPER SLOW... brake lights DONT work.... turn signals DONT work.... headlights did work... I hooked up a stereo in it and I was cruising to a town a few miles from me... the stereo was turning off and on so I decided to pull over and check if my ground wire was messed up or something... When I tried to leave truck wouldnt start.... alternator isnt charging battery! when I jump it and pull off postitive it dies... Is it because my positive wire to alt is too small to handle 105 amps? where should I start looking to fix my issues!!??
