1987 460 OMC Ford King Cobra - Problem: The motor does not crank over. There seems to be no power to the key switch. The switch seems to check out fine. While tightening the belts I inadvertently touched one of the terminals on the noise suppression box (see photo). will try to post. On the box there are 3 terminals; 1 Red wire goes from the terminal on the suppression box that?s marked alternator to the positive side of the alternator, 1 Orange wire goes to the terminal on the suppression box marked battery to the assist solenoid, 1 Black wire is grounded to the block.
In the schematic, the orange wire goes from the positive side of the alternator to the assist solenoid and it shows a fuse. I have been unable to actually locate that fuse. Could it be covered up in the harness? Or, if I blew out the diodes in the alternator, by grounding out the terminal; would that cause the problem with the power to the key switch? The gauges are inoperable as well. Any input that could help me solve this problem will be
