(SOLVED) truck still wont run

Wow. It looks like you found your problem. The reason why it burned, and possibility of it burning again after repair is the question. I'm supprised it melted because the fusable link should have burned first.

yeah im kinda at a loss now as of what to do. or what to test.

[joey_crandall]

also yesterday i checked to see if the dizzy was in correctly and the crank pulley wasnt tightened down all the way. i could move it with a socket without a ratchet. idont know if that could cause anything, figured i should mention it.

The crank pulley as in the 4 bolts that hold it in or the big bolt with the 1/2" ratchet hole in it? Well, you chould check to see if there is power going to it, what where there is also power. With the plugs melted like that, you should track further upstream and downstream of what else is burnt. I can already see that you can either replace the ignition or attempt at fixing it by replacing the terminals. If it's melted elsewhere also, there would be no change after the repair.

ok i see what your saying. and yes it was the 22mm crank bolt that was loose. so with the ign stuff, think i should cut the looming off and look for burnt wires.

[4doorciv]

Well, the crank pulley should be installed with the 4 10mm or 12mm bolts. Not really the 22mm bolt. But yes, look for burnt wires. The burnt wires would turn into a short to power or a short to ground. And it seems that you have a short to power with the key in the off position. After the key is in the on position no power so open circuit.

[l.k.]

atleast you found out something man, keep it up. I would def. track wires searching for burnt ones/ melted etc..
