Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Also it leaked from underneath does that mean I have to get a new one because before the truck was stolen it didn't leak at all Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 So I let my friend redo the starter after I fixed a couple wires and now my truck is still sparking at the negative and it also tries to start itself please tell me he just installed the starter improperly and that's it Unplug the harness that goes into the ignition switch, then check if it does it again when you put terminals on battery....I'm suspecting you found the problem...

Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Got you thanks for the info but do you guys think I will need a new pump the hoses seemed fine I'll double check tomorrow morning like I said it was leaking from underneath the fuel pump just the tiniest bit tho I will also reinstall the starter anything I should check or watch for in doing so?

KoHeartsGPA Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 One step at a time, let's get this electrical issue resolved first, but ya you'll need to get a new pump or rebuild that one if possible, not sure without pictures. Quote Link to comment

ericsb210 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I now attribute my earlier post to a brain fart. But ya, when stolen they had to hot wire it right. I agree with everyone else, ign 1 Quote Link to comment
Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ok so I think something is missing not quite sure because when I disconnected the ignition wire it still sparks Quote Link to comment
Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'll take more pics today this is very irritating Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 If it's been hot wired then unplugging the ignition isn't going to help. Without pics from underneath the dash its all speculation. I'm guessing you have 3 wires joined 2 to close the circuit and 1 from the starter. Do you have any wires behind the ignition plug that look joined quickly or roughly? It only takes 3 wires to get a datsun going 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree with everyone else, ign Ok so I think something is missing not quite sure because when I disconnected the ignition wire it still sparks http://jalopnik.com/5871510/how-to-hotwire-a-car/ Read this. Now look for signs that your truck was hotwired when it was stolen. I'm betting the wires are bare and touching. Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 What's this switch wired to? Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Possible kill switch? Op: where's the back of the ignitionew switch? Why does it look like the red and white wires end in the middle of the electrical tape on that main bundle in the center? Also, flip the switch and see if the battery still sparks. What is that switch? Old as shit it is 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 What's going on with the black wires? Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Gotta say those fuses look a little suspect too Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yeah what is up with those wires? Rip that out Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ok that didn't work I question the entire aftermarket radio wiring harness. Doesn't belong so it's automatically suspect to me Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 ^^^all of that, plus I'm wondering if the "kill switch" is still wired that way. 2 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 ^^^all of that, plus I'm wondering if the "kill switch" is still wired that way.possibly became a start switch? 1 Quote Link to comment
Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The switch was there when I bought it I actually thought it was put there from factory but I guess not and I already removed the black wires to the fuses the fuses look fine and intact and the only other wire that I thought was for the ignition is in the photo album I'm holding it or is that not to the ignition Quote Link to comment
Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I flipped the switch and tried still got sparks 1 Quote Link to comment
Emilio's79620 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'll put more pics of everything Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Follow the ignition wires back as far as you can! Your wiring looks pretty clean There must be something obvious we are missing Quote Link to comment
