2000 Dodge Durango Ignition Wiring Diagram – Let’s first take a look at the different types of terminals used on the ignition switch. These are the terminals for the Ignition, Coil, or Accessory. Once we understand the function of each terminal, we can then determine the components of the ignition wiring. Then, we will discuss the functions and the Coil. Then, we’ll turn our attention to the Accessory terminals.
Terminals for ignition switch
The ignition switch consists of three switches. They are responsible for feeding the battery’s energy to various locations. The choke is powered by the first switch. The third switch regulates the ON/OFF switch of the ignition switch. Different manufacturers have different colour-coding systems that correspond to the conductors. OMC follows this method. An additional connector is included inside the ignition switch to allow attaching a tachometer.
While the majority of ignition switch terminals don’t carry an original number, they might have a different number. To make sure that the wires are correctly plugged in to the switch you must verify their continuity. You can do this with a simple multimeter. After you’re happy with the continuity of the wires, connect the new connector. If your car has an ignition switch that is installed the wiring diagram will differ.
First, understand the differences between ACC and auxiliary outputs. The ACC terminals as well as the IGN terminals are the primary connections to your ignition switch. The START and IGN connections are the primary connections for stereo and radio. The ignition switch operates the engine’s off/on button. Older cars are equipped with ignition switch’s terminals that are labeled “ACC” or “ST” (for individual magnetowires).
Terminals for Coil
The terminology used to determine the model and type of the ignition coil is the primary thing. The fundamental diagram of ignition wiring shows a number different connections and terminals. There are two primary and one secondary. Each coil operates at a specific voltage. The first step in determining which kind of coil you’re dealing with is to test the voltage on S1, or the primary terminal. You should also check S1 for resistance to determine if it’s a Type A, B, or C coil.
The low-tension end of the coil must be connected to the chassis’ negative. This is also the ground for an ignition wiring diagram. The high-tension component supplies the spark plugs with positive. The coil’s aluminum body needs to be connected to the chassis for suppression but isn’t required. The wiring diagram will also depict the connection between positive and negative coil terminals. In some cases it is possible to find the ignition coil is damaged and is easily identified with scans at an auto parts store.
The black-and-white-striped wire from the harness goes to the negative terminal. The other white wire is black-colored and connects to the negative terminal. The black wire is connected to the contact breaker. You can remove the black wire from the housing of the plug using a paper clip if you are unsure about the connection. Be sure to ensure that the terminals aren’t bent.
Accessory terminals
The ignition wiring diagrams illustrate the various wires that provide power to the various parts of the vehicle. There are usually four colored terminals that correspond to the respective component. For accessories, red is for starter solenoid, yellow is for battery, and blue is for accessories. The “IGN” terminal is used to start the vehicle and control the wipers and other operating functions. This diagram shows how to connect ACC and ST terminals to the other components.
The terminal BAT is where the battery is. The electrical system is not able to begin without the battery. Also, the switch won’t turn on without the battery. It is possible to view your wiring diagram to figure out where your car’s batteries are situated. Your car’s accessory terminals are connected to the ignition switch, as well as the battery. The BAT terminal is connected to the battery.
Some ignition switches feature an “accessory” setting that permits users to control their outputs without needing to turn on the ignition. In some cases, users may want to utilize the auxiliary input independently of the ignition. Use the additional output by connecting the connector to the ACC terminal on your switch that has the same color. This option is useful however it does have one significant distinction. The majority of ignition switches are configured to have an ACC status when the car’s in the ACC or START position.
