20 Most Recent 1984 Chrysler LeBaron - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, It is assumed you are using the correct belt for your vehicle? Better still, are you using an OEM belt or other quality belt like Gates, Dayco or Continental? Are all your varoius pullies in good condtion and rotate freely without any excess play in the bearings, Does your alternator have an auto run-on pully? This maybe defective causing belt flutter and rapid wear (im assuming your belt drives the alternator as you have not stated your vehicle type)

the voltage regulator on that old of a chrysler should still be internal (inside the alternator). it could be just bad alternators, i've ran into many endless amounts of defective alternators. the most was 7 in a row on one vehicle from two different parts suppliers. otherwise it could be bad wiring, loose connections, burnt contacts, or a bad short.

repalce wiper motor

Sure. It should also blow when the switch is on Park too. The park circuit is hot in both park and headlight position.

the easiest place to start will be to check and see if you have you take starter fluid and spray it in to your intake if it starts your fuel pumps bad or it has a bad relay possibly even a short in the wire I know Chevys mainly the Blazer was bad for that if it still doesn't start full of one of your plug wires if you happen to have an extra spark plug stick it in the wire and lay on top of the engine where I can get a ground but do not hang on to it it would light you up

run fault codes and look for temperature related sensors.

Check the oil level in the transmission to check for oil leaks . Run fault codes and look for a fault in the TCM unit or wires not connected properly. Have a pressure test done to check for internal problems.

Could be just a need to reset the "check engine light", normally this is accomplished when the battery is disconnected for 15 minutes...If your Lebaron is now running smoothly, have the alternator battery tested for free at most auto parts stores for peace of mind. Auto Zone can also read the check engine light code for free. Tight belt, good tensioner pulley, good alternator, you should be in business. Most likely no harm done when the arc occurred.

87, ouch old iron.....which engine?is it a CARB? engines.ever tune it up, fully? if not why not.?

You take the hot wire to the ignition switch and twist it together with the run wire out of the switch-then ignition is on, just as if the key were turned to on. Then take the start wire that goes out of the switch and touch it to the hot wire to make the starter work. Soon as engine is started, remove the start wire from hot wire and tuck it out of the way. When you want it off, untwist the hot wire and the run wire.If you cannot hot wire it like this, check if there is a security system that has immobilized the car. I don't know if a '92 had a security system.
