1992 Classic Roadsters Wiring question
I'm looking for someone who has an older CR (1992) and is using the CR factory wiring harnesses with the Chevette steering column and not the glass type fuse box. After the 4 relays I'm getting some voltage dropping to my lights, balast resistor, winshield wipers,etc. I noticed it when I drove it at night on account of dim headlights and sometimes experiencing starting problems. When testing the voltage going to the headlights it was down to 10.75. All grounds have been tested and are good with clean bare metal contacts at both engine, frame, light fixtures and battery. Also, if battery is low (haven't used the car for awhile) the voltage going to the balast resistor gets dropped even more when starter motor is turning over, and I have to do the old trick of letting go of the key as engine spins for the starter to stop and then the voltage will kick up enough before the engine stops spinning. (Good explanation, HUH?)
Thanks in adavance,
Bob
