Tom, it is very unusual for a wire to fail, as I'm sure you know.
I would suspect the bullet connections on the dip switch cable where it
joins the main harness.
They are near the overdrive throttle switch as I recall.

One time I  had the main ignition - coil wire fail in my BJ8 harness...
much smoke was released and I was not able to put the smoke back in the
wire.  turned off the battery switch, disconnected it, then ran a separate
main wire , turned switch back on and drove home...

I went ahead and ran a new wire--used 16 gauge-------I did check the bullet connections to the old wire and they were good---I cannot understand why a wire would suddenly stop conveying current---but since I found nothing else---that must have been the problem.works like a charm now with the new wire.

Tom -

You're lucky.  You avoided releasing smoke like I did.

This wire, like the ignition wire, carries alot of current... it probably
corroded or melted a little bit in the harness somewhere and grounded out.

This is why it's a good idea, instead, to use this wire to power a relay
with a direct power connection to the fusebox.

Best Regards,

Alan
