I went ahead and ran a new wire--used 16 gauge-------I did check the bullet
connections to the old wire and they were good---I cannot understand why a wire
would suddenly stop conveying current---but since I found nothing else---that
must have been the problem.works like a charm now with the new wire.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Electrical question
One time I had the main ignition - coil wire fail in my BJ8 harness... much
smoke was released and I was not able to put the smoke back in the wire.
turned off the battery switch, disconnected it, then ran a separate main wire ,
turned switch back on and drove home...

All of a sudden no power thru the hL sw blue wire to the dip sw. HL switch is
good. Ran a wire directly from the HL switch to the dip sw-----have power--all
works.
Ohms's reading seems quite a bit higher thru that original wire than a reg wire
i used. Guess it is possible that the resistance is so high that it won't
allow voltage to pass?? Anyone who has tried to trace that wire will know it
is impossible to see the full length since it is encased in wrap.
I'm down to disconnecting the original wire and running another power wire from
the HL sw to the dip sw and moving on. Of course that won't help me determine
what caused it but I'll have lights.
Anyone have any other ideas on cause?
Anyone know what gauge wire I should use?
