JBLoudG20 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Posted August 2, 2007 Another reproduction wiring harness from Walck's 4wd for my '62 JEEP CJ-5. not to make it sting but:
en480c4 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 not to make it sting but: Oh, owned completely. And I deserve the sting! Owned Wiring 1 Owned Wiring 2 Owned Wiring 3 Owned Wiring 4
en480c4 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 The wiring clip on the firewall let go, letting the harness fall forward and rest against the exhaust manifold. Once it burned through the insulation, the 12 ga main ignition lead grounded out, and was glowing red hot. It went from there, lighting the insulation on fire, and melting the rest.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Posted August 2, 2007 Ouch thats a shitty way to go. No fuse to save the power line?
en480c4 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 No fuse. Ah, the joys of 1960's technology. I think there are a grand total of 2 inline fuses in the whole JEEP! Also just purchased, a new temperature sending unit and speedometer/cluster for it. I didn't want to do either before, but if I'm rewiring, why not?
JBLoudG20 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Posted August 2, 2007 Why don't you add a fuse? Would have saved your wiring, and who knows maybe your life had it happened a bit differently. Just my outlook, of course.
n_maher Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Why don't you add a fuse? Would have saved your wiring, and who knows maybe your life had it happened a bit differently. Just my outlook, of course. It would have stopped it from shorting, yes, but the heat from the manifold did as much damage as anything else and the fuse wouldn't have stopped that a bit. The real lesson is that plastic clips suck. I don't think Ian will use them again.

All that melted insulation was either one hell of a fire, or way too much current. Zip ties are my friend Good luck with the rewire. Been there, sucks!

Tube Depot was out of the 6FC7 tubes I also wanted, so I guess I'll have to source those elsewhere. What was your experience with tubedepot? I just ordered some tubes from them, I hope I get them before next Sunday.
en480c4 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 They shipped out same day and FedEx delivered as promised. The only negative I had was they only had one of the 6FC7s, and I need 2. So they were just going to ship the one without contacting me. I caught it in time and cancelled that part of the order. But otherwise they seemed very good to deal with.
postjack Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 KG Aja but that one is a preorder, i can't do a needledrop NOW.
deepak Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 NOW NOW tsk tsk. I think you need a new custom title.
