68 Camaro Restomod AAW Terminal Radio Bat Wire Dead

[Vimes]

If you are getting power at one end of the wire and not at the other, the problem is in the middle, ie in the wire. Either you've missed the actual point of damage which is most likely where it passes through a bulkhead, or the damage is inside the insulation and may be a manufacturing defect. There's no use in stressing out about it, just run a new wire from the terminal to the fuse and be done with it. Pay attention to routing as you go and wrap a few rounds of electrical tape or put plastic conduit around it anywhere it passes through a hole. If you can, try to remove the old wire and any damage should be visible then.



If it helps, my day job involves wiring inside buildings that never moves. In theory, that wiring should be good until the end of time but wiring will go bad for no apparent reason - today it works, tomorrow it doesn't.
