Dj5-F electrical problems
I recently aquired a 78 Dj5 F from a freind. It was running great a
year ago but he started going to school and didn't have time for it so i got it. When i turn the key nothing happens not a squeek. the battery is connected right (neg to engine block) and when i jump it the engine cranks, so i know that the starter and battery work. Could someone help me or give a little advise. |

Re: Dj5-F electrical problems
Be sure to clean both ends of both cables.

Re: Dj5-F electrical problems
I would first charge up the battery and on a 78 clean the battery
terminals and cable ends. The battery might be totally dead. A 78 will run on just the alternator once you jump start it.
