Hello All,
We were working on our 89 Chevy Conversion Van today, while repairing a wire from the headlight switch I dropped it and it grounded out - the van engine died and wouldn't restart- now I have no headlights, instrument panel lights, or basically anything electrical except the dome lights.
We check the obvious fuses and they are all okay- including the ones by the firewall- Would there be any other fuses that would effect the electrical system that we may have missed?
I had to jump power to the tail lamps on the fuse box and got the van to start - but as soon as I turn on the headlight the van dies. The headlights will come on with the jumper wire- but the van won't run.
If you have any suggestions on what may be causing this or how we can maybe fix it- any help at all would be very appreciated.
Thanks
