The wiring in my 84 diesel K5 has been a source of frustration and problems for years. From electrical fires and non-starting issues to unnecessary run ins with the law for various lights not functioning.
Not long ago, nearly all the stock gauges had stopped working, and i ripped out the dash (sheet metal included) intending to rewire and cage the truck. School/life got busy, but now i have about a month to kick my ass into high gear and get it all done.
I purchased this universal 12 cicruit wiring harness/fuse block from NWautowire to help with the process.
The truck is diesel, and from all the problems in the past, i have a push button starter and manual glow plug solenoid circuits already wired.
I am completely lost trying to figure out the steering column wiring and feel like a bit of an idiot. I have a technical (mechanical engineering) background and have been wrenching for years, but wiring and electricity confuse me.
I essentially need to figure out the turn signals, hazard, and wiper wiring in the steering column. I am going to delete the factory ignition and go with a key/ missile swithc ignition combo, and retain my push button starter and glowplugs.
I got rid of the factory headlight switch, and tried to run a new relay powered circuit in the past, but that got all buggered.
Help?
