I’m resurrecting (not restoring, just want it running) an 89 Sunbird. Runs good no leaks looks pretty good.
None of the accessories work. Under dash wiring is a rats nest. I have good starting battery and an another good deep cycle. I’m thinking of just leaving the existing wiring in place and installing the deep cycle under the dash (there’s plenty of space) and putting new wiring to the breakers and switches for accessories This would give me 2 independent systems.
other than Not charging the front battery Why else shouldn’t I do this? If the deep cycle gets low I still still get home and plug it in. I just do t want to undertake a full retiring project and I’m on a fixed income.
by the way, I’m retired public safety communications and have good working knowledge of basis electronics and wiring. I retired in ‘94 so my experience isn’t current, but it’s about the same age of the boat.
Thanks DON
