confused wiring

switched84 cutlass · 05-05-2003, 12:26 AM

Maybe someone can help me over here. The last couple of weeks when i try to do a rolling three i would lock the car up and try to dump a corner and the whole rearend would drop . I fiqured it was something to do with wiring for the dash switches ,so i wired the switch box back up and its doing the same thing ,i tried to hit sides and the front would dump fine but the both sides on the rear would still drop . I check the dumps coils with a test light and they are both getting power when i hit a corner . I rewired it today and it is still doing the same .what could be causing this to happen?

its just in your wiring somewhere..... there would be no way really to tell on here....., but it is the wiring on and to the switches themselves.....
you just have too look at it and trace everything.....
figure out what is hooked up where it shouldn be.....
it will be easy to find though....
use all your front switches as a diagram..... and just make sure all the ack switches are wired the same way...
straight forward, i would think...

Yea it sould be easy but what i am not getting isi am you switch panel and a switch box with the both of them having their own wiring ,but both are doing the same thing . It seems like it would have to do with the two dump wires(+) to the rear being connected togther somewhere ,because that is what is messing up ,since they are both getting power when ever i hit a rear corner.

Thanks Rick after i posted the last comment i kinda knew what it was ,sometimes you just skip the obvious. Where i soilder the dump wires to the switchcord and tape them up individaully and then taped them together the two rear dump wires were touching somehow .Took them apart and retaped them an now it is fine.Time for some three wheeling again.
