240 won't start-follow up 200

Hey Guys,

I took another look at the '86 240 wagon this evening. If you remember from my previous post, I'm having trouble getting the car to start. It turns over just fine, and has spark and fuel. None of the dash warning lights are coming on, but I do have power to fuse 13. Someone said that this fuse powers the lights. I also checked the connections on the back of the instrument cluster and they seem fine. Still no warning lights when the key is on. I did notice that the exciter wire going to the alternator has lost most all of its insulation. The oil pressure warning light wire is also broken into right by the alternator. Could this be related to my no start problem? I really suspect the engine bay wiring harness. BTW, the fuel injection fuse in fine, and the timing belt seems fine (ie cam rotates when the engine is cranked).

I'd really appreciate any ideas on this. I'm going nuts trying to figure it out.

Dave
