Hey guys! Just bought this car and working through the kinks to be roadworthy. My current issue is my brake lights. I have no brake lights, no power to the plugs. I have no tail lights with the headlights on either. I do have turn signals and headlights. I checked the brake pedal switch and it...

Grew up wanting a 79 Camaro like my dad had in high school, finally was able to get my hands on a 79 Berlinetta, completely stock and original. I bought it, drove it 9 hours home, and put 3000 miles on it. Several hour long drives, dirt roads, never let me down. Until my latest trip in it...

Ive been struggling with ideas and suggestions about how to go forward. Its time I clean up my rats nest of wiring. I looked at the American Autowire upgraded wire set. A bit pricey, but problem is that my current wiring is in decent shape. I dont really feel the need to change it, and...

Hello, I'm having trouble with my camaro I bought from some guy a good while back. The key is stuck inside the ignition cylinder and the car will not turn on or make a noise when I turn the key, I have taken off the steering wheel and could change the ignition cylinder but the same problem would...

See attached photo Car is a 78 with factory A/C. Replacing my blower motor while the car is apart. Any new blower motors I have found online only have one terminal, whereas mine has two. Had anyone else run into this? I’m assuming the tan wire is power and the black one is ground. Maybe I...

Hi, So recently I got a really nice touch screen radio for my 79 Camaro Z28. After looking in the instruction manual it says it needs three wires to hook up to. 1.A constant power (found) 2.A ground (found) 3.A power that is only on at ACC (trouble finding). The original plug for the original...

Plugged in the light bulb for the glove box in my 1980 Z28, and saw a spark. All inside lights went off and now my car no electrical power. Checked all the fuses under the steering wheel, but nothing is blown. Suspect that it is another fuse somewhere, but I cannot figure it out. Any help with...

Hey, my 1981 sport coupe with all 1980 wiring harnesses is giving me troubles. (I’ve swapped a 305 that doesn’t need ECM and removed the ECM itself) so the problem is as such, my hazards work perfectly fine, no problems (even the markers flash) but neither right nor left blinkers work, I’ve...

Hello, sure this has been asked previously. I am in Australia, looking for a good number for a temp sender that will make my gauge read accurately. I have tried a couple from local auto shop, but gauge reads hot, moves does all the right things. I check the water temp with the IR gun, i can find...

Has anyone documented (other than diagrams) the pictures of the interior electrical connectors? I have a very had time reading and trying to follow electrical diagrams is almost impossible. My sons and I have been restoring a 1974 camaro that was the same car I drove in high school...

Relay clicks when I press the button but no noise at all from either horn. Any ideas for what to check next?

I have a '81 Z with a troubled tach. When I turn the ignition switch on (without cranking) the tach goes to 500 rpm. As I watch it, the needle creeps up to about 1200 rpm and seems to stop there. When I crank the engine, the tach needle pops clockwise to the 6 o'clock position. I checked...

Hello all, I ordered new gauges awhile back and am looking to convert my speedometer to electronic. I have a universal speed sensor but I was wondering if any of you have experience on a good way/place to install this on a 4 speed? I'm not sure if it is a muncie or signaw off-hand and the car...

Hi all, I've run into some electrical trouble with my 78 Z, hoping you can help me. At the fuse block, I get no power at the IGN. (Ignition) port, and power all the time at the ACC. (Accessory) port, no matter what position the key is in. The BAT. port seems to operate correctly, with power when...

So I'm finally starting to get to the bottom of my alternator not charging the battery. I purchased a new alternator with an internal regulator. I then made the connections to remove the voltage regulator (blue to brown and yellow to orange). Still the alternator was not charging the battery...
