New wiring harness?
I've been restoring my Turbo II since last fall. It ran when I first got it, but then quit producing spark. I took it to my friend's shop to see if he could diagnose it. According to him, the main engine fuse blows every time you turn the key on.
Is this a common problem? I've heard the the wiring on these cars can get pretty brittle. Is it possible to fix without replacing the entire harness?

when the main fuese blows, this is an indication that you have a power wire grounding out somewhere. check everything under the hood as this problem occurs either with a crossed wire through the engine wire harness or a crossed wire in the harness on the driverside (harness for starter, alternator, battery, fusebox, etc.)

if you are blowing your main fuse...............the engine harness is not the problem. you are having a grounding issue somewhere under the hood that has nothing to do with the em harness. i would check your charging harness ( the one connecting the starter, alternator, battery, and main engine fuse)

Check the alternator/intercooler area.
That part of the TII is usually the culrprit of shorting out the wiring,as the intercooler will hit the alternator and ZAP!

ENGINE fuse should have been the one that blew not the main fuse if this is wired as a stk car.
Engine fuse.............fifteen amps.
Main fuse...............eighty amps.
Engine fuse come before the pump and Main fuse after the engine fuse. Makes no sense on a stock car.
