Port engine wont start from bridge.Upper and Lower buzzers dont work

Post by Martino »

In my 1980 F32 with new Chrysler 360 engines the port engine wont start from bridge. And the buzzers on the bridge and in the cabin dont work. I did replace the ignition switch on the bridge last year and it started. Now it dont.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly apprieciated.

Are the gauges coming on when you turn the switch on? Are the buzzers not working from both switches or just the upper? check for lose connections Check to see if you're getting power to the switch. if you do check if you are getting power out.

Yes, the gauges come on and the buzzers dont work for both switchwes. I will investigate the power to the switch.

So the ignition switch on the bridge had a loose power wire. Now I need to figure out why the lower and upper helm buzzers don't work.

Check for power at the buzzer(s) and check to make sure the wire is hooked up to the oil and temp switches. (not sensors)

I didnt know about the oil and temp switches? I did notice one of the buzzers has the top piece removed from the lower half.

Going to check the wires and connections on the senders.
