My old faithful Beach Truck has been... unfaithful to me lately. I still love it though and want to work things out!
For about a year it has died randomly. It'll sputter as if it lost fuel pressure briefly, then smooth out. It might die completely and then start again within minutes and run fine for a week. I have thus far used this time to reflect on life's many mysteries alongside the road, or to take a few extra minutes getting back to the road from the sand. Really need it to just run right though, yanno?
Recently it finally blew an injector fuse. Great! Now I know it's a short to ground somewhere. Easy enough, right? Nope. I cannot find a short anywhere. It's an old truck that was rednecked up pretty bad when I got it, but I cleaned up all the wiring when I put a motor in it years ago. There is no wire or wiring harness obviously damaged under the hood or under the dash. Wherever it is shorting, it must be doing so inside a wiring harness.
I have two wishes:
1) That one of you will magically just know exactly where it's shorting out and I can go fix it.
2) Barring hope of the magic above, if one of you has a wiring diagram of said truck I will just rewire everything on that fuse circuit and be done with it, and head back out to the beach for a swim, and perhaps an evening lying in the bed of it in a big pile of blankets and pillows under the stars with my lady. Seagulls will serenade, the sunset will glow effervescently, and many joyous cuddles will ensue. Probably a late night skinny dip as well. Depends on the mood, yanno?
Please help make my dreams come true. Songs will be sung in your honor until your Grandchildren have turned to dust. You are my heroes.
