Re: {Chrysler 300} 300F restoration



Hi Claudio,

Do you have a good voltmeter?   

I have seen where a loose or oxidized connection at the battery terminal(s) could allow lights to work but as soon as you put high amp demand like starting, the poor connections won’t allow enough current flow.  I believe the headlight switch is also involved with the circuit, and perhaps checking that will help.  Also take a look at the connections at switches to see that they are clean and solid.  I don’t know if your two issues are related, but if you begin by following the path of the starting circuit, you could measure where you would expect voltage and see if it is there.  I might begin where it’s easy- are you getting juice to the starter?  To the relay?  You could also leave the ignition switch connected but take it out of the dash to make it easier to get to the backside of it to measure voltage at switch positions from the blades on the back.    A few ideas anyway.  In general if you took any ground wires loose in the disassembly check that they are reconnected.   I don’t have specific F knowledge but someone will probably have some good advice.   Hopefully it’s simple and you’re not blowing fuses!

V/r,
dave

Hi Group, finally finding time to work on my car which has been sitting for almost 1 year since my purchase. I’m a bit of a amateur but with reading all your discussions and the club  videos etc. and my 1960 service manuel I’m slowly putting the dash back together.
All the interior Upholstry is being made new, have removed all interior trim, by hand polished as best I could and purchased which was in bad shape…Dash pad, radio, speaker are out which make it a bit easier to work in behind. I have put back, the shifter control, wiper switch, light switch and turn signal. Put back dome.. Sorry for dragging…
Now, I turn the key to aux and all dash lights, turn signal lights, break lights and hi beam lights are all good . I cannot get the car to crank and the panelescent to light up. 
Any guidance as to how to troubleshoot?? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciate…

Claudio 300F up here in Canada…
