And be sure to disconnect the battery before wire brushing the terminals.

It sounds like the Bulkhead Connector, if it has one, found on the 
firewall below the Master Cylinder. Just follow the wires. This is the 
connector that brings the wires thru the Firewall. It  will get 
corroded, and loose. It will have a bolt in the middle to hold it 
together. Clean both male and female sides with a small brush and a 
good electrical cleaner.
Also, I tweek the male spade terminals about 15°, that gives them a 
tight fit when putting them back together. I do this on all spade type 
connectors.

Hello friends - tonight I tried to start my J for the first time in a 
month. It cranked fine for a while. Then all of a sudden there was 
nothing at all - no cranking, no interior light, no power to the 
windows, no electricity. The battery is charged and fine. I checked the 
ballast resister and found the coiled filament to be broken into two 
pieces. I replaced the ballast resister with my spare. There still was 
no electricity getting to the starter or anywhere else. Does anyone 
have any suggestions?
