Thanks for raising this subject. Had a similar problem in that my park lights did not come on. Found that the Australian light switch does not have spade number six, therefore no parklights! Otherwise the same! Busy repairing the old switch. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Solomon To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 5:04 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] wiring question
I had a hell of a time with the dash in my 70. Must have pulled it out and put it back in 6 times. Make sure that you have the three black ground wires hooked up. One goes to a screw on the cluster, one to the metal frame of the dash carrier and one to the e-brake. Also did you put the ground strap back in under the light switch? My problem turned out to be the headlight switch. Power to the cluster passes through this switch. One of the spades slipped out aside the connector and was not making contact. Here is the topic on chevelles.com. It has some great pics and information to diagnose the headlight switch. It also includes information on the 12 pin connector and tests to verify voltage at the fusebox. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=260728&highlight=hot+wires+SS+dash Dan "It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry." http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 10:06:28 +0000 From: rml...@comcast.net To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] wiring question I set my restored dash in place and connected the wires, turned the key to acess. and my temp. fuel, and amp guages did nothing. Should there be a voltage at the 12 point plug for each of these three guages. My dash lights work. Turn signals work. brake lights. All the lights are working. Iam stumped. Any ideas,Thanks. Frustrated.
