I could not get my 78 bus to start. It has fuel injection. I found this black wire disconnected. Any ideas on where on the fuse panel it should plug into? I think it may go to the coil.

Do you have a voltmeter? If so, turn the key to the on position and measure from I believe 15 to ground. If you don’t have 12v there then that may be your problem and you can find if that black wire needs to be connected to give you 12v at the coil. Turn the key right back off though, don’t leave it on for long. I’m pretty sure there are wiring diagrams in the technical section, although I don’t quite know how to follow the ones for the late bay. _________________ If you haven't bled on them, you haven't worked on them.

Your the same as me. I don't know how to follow the newer wiring diagrams. I will try as you suggest. I had to replace the connector as it was old and damaged.

You wire should have gone to the supply side of the #11 or #12 fuse.
Do learn to read the DIN current track style diagrams, they are much easier to deal with in most instances as it is very easy to isolate any given circuit verses tracing wires all over multiple pages. |

The wire was connected to the # 12 connection. The problem at first happened that I had tried to start the bus with the wire off to see if I needed a wire on that connection. I connected the wired, but the bus would not start. I replaced the connector as I found that with age the connectors become brittle. That little of time cranking the engine without the wire connected had caused the bus to flood. Once the bus sat for a while, it fired right up. |
