We rewired our 51 Land Cruiser and our directionals now work, headlights, taillights and brake lamps work. We stayed with the 6 volt system. Our problem is that when you open either of the front car doors-passenger or driver side, the engine cuts out. The car will start and continue running, as long as neither of the front doors are opened. Has anyone out there had a problem like this before? Any suggestions on what to try to fix this. Signed-stuck in the Cruiser.

A vehicle being positive or negative ground makes no difference as far as the basic wiring harness is concerned. The system just does its grounding through the positive battery terminal rather than the negative one.
Originally posted by warrlaw1 View PostTom seems to have found it. Whoever wired the courtesy lights probably forgot that our cars are 'positive' ground, and wired it like a "normal" car .Frank van Doorn
