Okay, so I attempted to demystify the '87 Mondial wiring diagram that someone helpfully made available to the community. There's a pink/yellow...
Thanks for your reply, Steve. I just checked, all the fuses are good and everything else on that circuit works. The clock is dead but if I press...
I've buttoned everything back up with the new W connector with the new terminals, but like I thought would happen, I somehow disturbed some...
The thicker wire looks like 12 Gauge and that's what I'm using for this repair. Here's the new connector with the new 3/16"terminals. [ATTACH]
I'm using 3/16" female terminals and making the holes slightly bigger in the stock connector block. It's taking a while as the previous owner...
Thanks moysiuan. I do have one of those GTCP replacement connectors. I bought it when I thought this would be a simpler job. GTCP are sold out of...
I just checked, it's the same reading as the battery. So this is interesting. I've starting to clean and repair the fuse panel, and voltage is...
Thanks again, Steve. I'm not 100 per cent sure the alternator is correct or original for my car, but the shop that just rebuilt it is very...
Thanks for your reply, Steve. Starting from cold, with the car car idling, the voltage between the battery terminals is around 12.2. With the...
Thanks Steve. It's sometimes hard for a lay person to parse those wiring diagrams, I appreciate the info. I'm having an issue of the car's voltage...
Thanks for that info, Steve. That's very helpful. The sunroof is currently inoperable, I haven't explored the issue yet, though the brake lights...
Thanks for asking Moysiuan. The voltage is a little low when the car is running. The battery is brand new and the alternator has just been...
Yes, that's what I thought. Drunkenly applied Plasti Dip or similar. At first I thought it was some kind of dielectric grease.
I thought I would reach out to experts in trying to reconstruct the W connector on my '88 Mondial's fuse panel. As you can see, a grievous crime...
Thanks for the tip. I am now looking at a more robust setup than OEM.
Thanks for your suggestion. I just called them, they were very friendly but unfortunately they do not have them and they are no longer available....
Does anyone have a source for these? Ricambi and GTCP both sell them but Ricambi don't have many and are unlikely to get any more and GTCP are...
I feel I should honor the purchase, it's not their fault I didn't do my due diligence. I will say though, I'm impressed with their genuine next...
Holy smokes. Good for you. Literally today I paid the $40 to GTCP for the 'W' connector. (It's actually $56.00 with tax and shipping.) If only...
Oh great, PM sent.
