Question
Im rebuilding a 84 laser, put another motor in it and replace the trans. Here is the problem cross some wires it burnt out something now Im not geting power to nothing under the hood. I replace the relay switches and sent off ECU to check it (hasnt came back yet). any other suggestions

Answer
Hi Charles,
Do you have any idea what wires were 'crossed' and which had voltage on it and which ones seeemed to be damaged? The wiring diagrams are about 100 pages in length but I have them and can see what might have happened but I need to know what exactly got crossed.
Otherwise, I don't know what to ask or suggest to you. You might want to look on eBay, searching for "chrysler manual" to see if you can find an '84 set of manuals for the front wheel drive vehicles. I have seen these come up regularly.

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
