DanielC Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 The 521 harness is on the right. Some other harness on the left. Crashtd has an understanding wife. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 That's all 521 on the table. Plus some extra crap wires ... its My stock harness from the truck.. the engine bay wiring is what you see.. pile on left is the rear harness and under that in a bag is the dash wiring.... stripping it down cleaning things up and running it my way.... 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 There is some stuff on that table I have not seen in any 521 trucks, on the lower left corner of the table. 521 trucks did not use ATC (blade) type fuses 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yah that's the stuff I am removing right now.... 15 years ago i used what I had to fix the fuse panel and do some other wiring ... the main wiring harness is correct and intact... even once I am done you'll see a few things that probably shouldn't be there. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Including this.... It will give me some extra fuses and a couple useful relays.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well every thing tested ok on the table. I still need to extend an bunch of wires since I am trying to keep as much wiring out of the engine bay as possible.... I installed to see what I was dealing with. 1 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I still have a bunch of work to do to secure and clean everything up. For now I needed the main harness in because I am trying to fire the motor for the first time real soon... waiting for gas tank to get done being reconditioned... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 So gonna start with a quick question. When I turn the ignition on the charge light should come on right? but it doesnt... on the back of the altenator is the t plug.. the ground, output for power. And one more I tracked it to be the white white that goes to the regulator... if I unplug at the altenator the light comes on.. if I plug it in I hear the regulator click and the light goes out.... this is with out the truck running... a had the altenator check even thought it was new all good... regulator seems good... cleaned all the connections and inside is a full circuit board.... I am trying to break the motor in next weekend but am unsure if the charging system is proper. And with everything wired and altenator in hand, and grounded can I spin it with a drill should I get reading or is it just to slow..... 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Voltmeter...Is it charging? Sounds like it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I hate the 521 charge system, I had my light slightly on for years, it was annoying at night, but I took it to the test guy and it was charging, the test guy was annoyed with the light also, but when it did quit charging I didn't know it, I barely made it home. I finally converted over to an internally regulated alternator, everything was great for a while, then the light started to come on slightly again, drove me nuts, I bypassed all the stock charge system wiring and made my own, was great again till a few months ago, now my light comes on slightly again when I use the turn signals or headlights, otherwise it is fine. I have come to the conclusion that light is there to annoy me and anyone else that owns one of these trucks, if the alt. tests good, then the issue is likely the regulator, and all the regulators being sold these days are crap, the best bet is to find someone that is converting over to an internally regulated alt and buy their good old regulator, hopefully they had a digital type one. 1 Quote Link to comment
