Thanks boys, I have not replaced the GEN lamps, only the other cluster lamps. I tried tricking it out in RED; but did not get enough light, now I believe that the problem was not the LEDs but the continuity of the circuitry.

I was testing the cluster circuit "board" on the rear of the instrument cluster (on the kitchen table). The rear left turn signal would come on steady with the headlamps. I noticed three things: The bottom most tab that the wiring harness plugs into on the back of the cluster was canted...

Grega is right. I installed mine the same way. It looks problematic; but it just looks that way. Block it up out of the way the best you can without tearing it up. Install a good gasket and some copper sealant- no sense in dealing with this twice. I noticed mine seem to run around 130°. Over...

I hate messing with the OEM fuse block. Greasy junk inside gums all the connectors up- it's kind of like working around Butyl. I think I would look for either another identical box by the stamped on part number- probably in the TM "P" manual. OR get one from a Blazer or Pick-up if they are...

I got just two words for you... Trout Rod. No. strike that. Bug repellant. Wait, Grizzly Bears- uh uh, Ava Lanche. :D

corelokt, - Add a temp gauge to supplement the idiot light- it goes in nicely next to the Voltage meter. You'll also need to get GM part 14028949- Cover AY, Cylinder Head. See other threads for this part of the install. Picture of the part and where it goes. Don't know about the other gauges...

motorman, Looks awesome, especially with the jump-off point this vehicle presented with.:popcorn: I'm watching. PS. Only a few of us thought you were a parasite. :whistle:

I replaced the ignition key cylinder last week with a unit from NAPA. Today while I was out I went to start my Blazer and I hear the "No start" >clack< of the starter relay. I, in shock and fear, accidentally turn the key all the way back to the ACC position and try again. It fired right up. I...

chuck0070 and mtn man, thanks for the additional info. Good wire management and mounting ideas. I am still unhappy with where my AUX Fuse Block sits. I think I'll fab up a bracket to mount it to. The wires are ok though. I guess the difference is that with Warthogs help, I was able to run the...

Another fuse? Okay but there is a fuse on each of the outputs from the relay and the fuse block has a fuse for each accessory it protects. Is the extra fuse to protect the relay only?

quickfarms, Huh? Sorry; but could you explain your comment. I don't quite follow.

I needed power up my new radio AND CB AND Scanner. In another thread I learned how to get one circuit for the radio; but this left me high-and-dry for the other electronics. Warthog tipped me to a useful add-on and after researching it I was able to put an axillary Fuse Block in near the...

cpf240, Could you elaborate a bit more? I have only just discovered the "add-a-fuse" tap. The accessory fuse block you mention is another martian part to me- maybe a proposed diagram or link to the part you mention? Thanks, Ed

Thanks gents, Warthog you are The Man. I have been wiring things under dashboards since I was 14 or 15, many many... many moons ago. I hate to feel so dense. But when you recommend that I hook up the piggyback fuse holder to the WIPER Fuse it was a revelation. If I ever knew that there was such...

dstang97, What kind of switch? Like a toggle- something that you have to turn ON/OFF manually/ Because this is the same as remembering to turn the radio OFF, no? Why, well I guess I know why the "ACC" switch position would not be wired to work; but how is it different? I replaced the column...

Please post if you have a solution as how you can get ACC to work. I am still looking for an alternative.

So I have the new Key Cylinder in the ignition switch. The next step was to find which terminal in the fuse block would go HOT when the key was turned to "ACC". I tested all probable sites on the fuse block with the key turned to "ACC": All points 1-4 on the picture did not produce power per...

I pulled the key cylinder today. It seems to be original from someone's CUCV- I bought it from a guy here a while back- mine was all crusty. It has the CUCV key code stamped on it. Oddly enough, there is a roll pin sticking out of it where the cylinder tab is supposed to by-pass on its way to...
