Thanks to everyone for the good info on boosting. Much
appreciated. I suppose I'll do it the safe way in the
future...engine off.
However, notwithstanding your efforts, my saga
continues...
This relates to a different (I promise) car (an 84 505
S wagon).
This one now has a bad ignition coil, due to water
infiltration, which also caused the coil wire to
"short" (a.k.a. to explode) and destroyed (i.e., blew
off) the female contact of the ignition coil and
severed the coil wire [don't ask how this happened
friends...let's just say that it has been a tough
electrical week here in my Peugeot world, and just as
a "tip" to the few novices aboard...I would humbly
suggest avoiding getting overly zealous when washing
the 1984 Peugeot 505 wagon engine bay...Geeze O'Pete!
- Ka-Boom!].
Question: Will an after-market coil funcion? Or, will
it be necessary to use the (Peugeot) Delco - 2-piece
ignition coil assembly?
Let's see...my record this week:
- One destroyed Alt. (92' 505 wagon) due to jumping a
dead car's battery with my "good car" running). Nice
effort.
- Two depleted batteries (due to same). Autozone says
both are bad. Possible? Who knows? But certainly,
Spendid!
- One exploded ignition coil (84 505 wagon).
Marvelous.
- Destroyed ignition coil wire (84 505 wagon) due to
same. Bonus!
Also, I'm not touching the home circuit box if a
breaker trips this week...
Thanks for anyone's input on replacing the alternator
on the 84 505 wagon (gas, 1971cc, automatic).
