American autowire 12V supply during cranking

[northstart]

Hi fellow e-body gearheads,
I have installed AAW wiring harness 510289 and Holley Sniper EFI to 1970 Challenger.

I have difficulties to find a 12V supply which is hot in "Run" and "Start" keyed ignition switch positions. Car does not start without 12V during cranking. Power leads in the harness and fuse block IGN spades seem to go off during cranking.

Comments and instructions would be appreciated!

American Autowire Install tips/questions

Long time lurker first time poster. Just finished a complete rewire on my 74 cuda with the american autowire harness. I recorded it all and posted a video so hopefully that helps some people out or gives them the confidence to do this project yourself. Heres a link to it Key things to know if...

Not knowing anything about the AWW. @Todd Jackson and I went through the wiring. This is the results that we came up with. Todd Jackson would be more versed about this wiring harness. He would have the final results for the applications. I'm more then willing to help out where I can.

So you needed to cut the plug from the switch? This is what it should be on the new turn signal switch to the AAW wiring colors. That your showing me. A better picture of figure E would help.

AAW wiring. So you needed to cut the plug from the switch? This is what the colors would be on a new turn signal switch. The AAW wiring colors. Figure E. The Mopar wiring colors. My opinion: If you have the the car side of the turn signal sw plug. I would cut it with enough wire to remove the insulation. Then soldier the AAW wires to the plug wires and have shrink tube on before soldiering. Or get one. That way you retain ease of replacement and or trouble shooting. They are low current.

As far as the start and run, I think they were tied together. I'm looking for the diagram. I thought it was posted here. Below is for 68 70 B body should be about the same. This might be of help. I'll keep looking. White 122, Brown 7 and pink 3A Is that what you need? I'm just shooting in the dark here!

Thanks Challenger RTA. Otherwise AAW wiring works well (except fuel gauge shows full all the time but that's another story) and installation instructions were pretty clear.
I'll check the pink and brown!

I had same issue when I installed FiTech.
The answer was to add a diode, between start and run.
That way it had power when needed, and isolated the opposite direction.
