Negative wires to all gauges burned
Not
a great situation but we recently replaced my 5.7 1975 engine and did not modifiy any wires except one wire that runs from the positive post to the alternator. This wire was very corroded and actually was showing signs that it was burned or corroded through.
New starter installed with original external solinoid
When we turned the battery on the ignition to start all ground wires to my gauges burnt up
Now we are stumped because the Tollycraft never had any issues prior to me pulling the engine Very sad after all the work.
Could a bad alternator or voltage regulator cause a massive fault like this?
Thanks
We have looked at all battery wires solinoid and starter wires and they look correct
