Heya. Got the jimmy running and driving.
Its got a mess of wiring still. I've fixed the tail/stop lights. Hazards work, blinkers not yet and I did find 2 wires connected together near the front fender which I think from what I understand from the wiring diagrams I've got (color coded ones I found on another site) are for the blinkers.
Couple things I need some help with.
Temp gauge, doesn't read anything. If I ground the wire, the gauge pegs to hot, so I bought a new sender that goes in the head. No change. It stays at cold mark even when it's full warmed up.
My fuel gauge now works, after replacing the long wire that goes to the back of the truck. (Nice to know 20 bucks of non ethanol fuel only gives me a little under 1/4 tank lol) that stuffs spendy. But i figured since its got all new fuel lines and tank thats all i want to run in it and since the carb was all gummed up and green inside... yea. Anyways.
The front clip wiring harness was missing some sort of connector, and had a blue, black, red, and white wire with butt connectors on the ends ready to be hooked up, or so it seemed. I connected them to the corresponding wires. The front running lights work now, however now when I turn the key to on all my tail lights and running lights turn on regardless if the headlight switch us pulled out.
And also near the fuse panel, there's this little connector that has 2 terminals on the end in a T shape, but 3 wires going into it. From what I can tell 2 of 3 of the wires go to the brake switch connector, is it supposed to be plugged in somewhere?
