dj5 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 If there is anybody in southwest Florida that wants to help out a fellow club member, let me know, ill pay for your gas and whatever you want for time...pizza, beer, cash... u name it. would rather help a club member put money in their rig than a mechanic in his pocket.89 swb eliminator 4.0 needs electrical work...I went to fire it up and it cranked for a second, stopped cranking and puffed smoke from the steering column.I assume a positive wire grounded out melting or shorting something.I'm nowhere near being an electrician so if anybody wants to help that is near by fort Myers, FL 33916, it is greatly appreciated.I'm not sure if this issue relates but when this happened, I got it to fire up and when it did I noticed my oil pressure gauge now reads 20 even with WOT and drops to 0 every time I press the clutch, and when I release it goes back to 20...probably unrelated but my dash lights as well as floor lights work when they want to and getting no power to pillar light sockets.as you can tell I have some electrical demons...If anyone wants to make a trip and have a day on it I can provide what I can for you, if not I'm going to end up taking it to an electrical shop.Thanks for looking . :MJ 2: .

JeepsOLot Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I live in Stuart, about halfway between Ft. Pierce and West Palm Beach. I would help, but I have no clue when I can get out that way. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
