[Roadsters] Dead dead dead

[Walter.Peterson]

Did this get fixed?
There is a 3 wire power cable coming up from your starter. It could have a
fusible link, I don't remember. But that short cable (1foot long) is where
you can find a 3 pin Molex looking connector that is often highly corroded
and needs cleaning or rebuilding.  DatsunParts.com has the parts if you need
to rebuild it. This is one of the few weakest links in the electrical chain.

I have a 67 1600 and have experienced the same complete failure.  Check the
connection to the ammeter.  I have had to replace my connectors to get good
contact, the gauge works fine and its original, never rebuilt..  Easy fix
but tight working under the dash.

I just got
towed home from work. When I got to the office garage this evening my 1600
was
completely dead. No ignition, no lights, no radio, no nothing. B The battery
sparks very nicely, so it has juice.

I am assuming that it is either the
battery connection down at the starter or a bad battery ground. And I will
look at both this weekend when I can crawl around underneath.

If anyone has
any other suggestions please let me know so that when I'm getting dirty
Saturday I can look at everything.

Thanks
