Problems starting-What did I blow???
« on: June 17, 2010, 01:28:50 PM »
In an attempt to change over smaller turn signals (single wire bullets) I connected the wrong thing.  My headlight bucket contains a mess of wires. 

At first the signals would come on but didnt blink.  Per a previous thread I tried connecting all of the same male colors to the females.  WRONG.  I blew the main fuse.  I replaced all three with new fuses and put a good charge on the battery (14v).  But now I am not getting any spark from the coils.  The starter motor turns but there is no detonation.  I will have the coil tested at Autozone tonight but I fear the worst.

My question is-where do I start looking???

Gracias,
