[DML] Re: Otterstat cross reference? (Jumpering & Bypassing)



Do you know how to jump it? (Just tie the lines together). Will get
you through until a new switch is available.

Owners really need know how to jump/bypass a variety of systems:
- Cooling fans (otterstat & fan fail)
- Fuel pump (RPM relay and inertia ground)
- Headlight master switch (or headlight relays themselves -- no
side/tail lights)
- Turn signals through hazard switch
- Rheostat lines (dash illumination)
- Cold start injector
- Starter solenoid
- Starter ignition relay (bypass resistors)

Plus:
- Idle manually vs CIS
- Manually move door lock cam (inside door)
- xRef tachometer / MPH

In a pinch, will at least get you home. I've had to do so many times
in my DeLo career -- requisite hot start failure, stuck idle speed
motor, melted headlight master switch, and lost fuel pump ground. Ran
with manually jumped cooling fans *TO* Pigeon Forge. I'm still running
tach xRefs (helpful hint: make a custom chart and tape it to the
instrument cluster lens -- is readable through rear illumination at
night).
