electrical

My dad and I just tried to install a Grant custom steering wheel and are having electrical issues now. We took the stock wheel off with a puller, and after following the instructions, the hazards (exterior only) and side markers started flashing as well as the horn beeping as if a door was...

I recently been having a parasitic draw problem, It has been pulling .47amps. I have isolated it down to the Ctsy / clock 20amp fuse. I do no have a clock in the dash, and no lights appear to stay on and function as they should. I have disconnected the Door switches, glove box switch, replaced...

I'm in the process of trying to figure out why my horn doesn't work. Looking in the engine bay, there are two nonstock horns with wiring from an owner before me. The horn worked prior to the car being dropped off to be painted. When the horn button is pressed down, it does not beep. Also, the...

alright , I have a weird situation here on my 1978 el co and I will try and describe it the best I can. I changed all my bulbs to LEDS with the exception of headlights and marker bulbs. I also put in an EL12 flasher and check all fuses. when i turn my hazards on with headlights OFF they flash as...

Hi all, Its been a looong while since I’ve logged on here - I hate to be the guy that only participates when he needs help! Promise I’ll try to be a little more active haha To make a long story short, I’ve got an 86 El Camino with a stock 305. She’s been sitting all winter so I went to jump...

Hello I am interested in doing a standard wiper to delay wiper swap for my 87 Monte Carlo. I've found an 85 Fiero with a delay wiper switch, which I think should work since Rock Auto sells the same switch for the Fiero and Monte Carlo. The only discussions I have found about this swap only apply...

Are the running lights for the Monte on a different line than for the blinkers? I realized only one of my orange running lights turns on, but both will work as blinkers and hazards. Is it an easy fix?

Hello im sergio, new to this forum, i figured this would be the best place to ask about my cutlass’s problem. I have a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, the problem is a couple months ago the battery on the car died so i replaced the battery since also it was a really old battery , after...

So I’m back to trying to get my Cutlass finished... I stopped because I got really stuck in a couple different areas and need help... It’s a 1980 Cutlass that originally had the 260. I have a 350 out of a 70 delta 88 in it now with a 700r4 behind that. At the end of April I’ll be buying a ford...

Hello all, I usually can figure most things out in life but this has me stumped and no lie electrical isn't my thing. I have just bought a 87 MC SS and after towing it home and installing a new battery she fired up, the starter missed two times before it caught, so I've already purchased a new...

There are a lot of cool gauge clusters out there for G-Bodies and specifically the Regal, but I'm noticing in the fine print that a lot of them are made to work in '84 and newer models. Was there a big electrical system architecture change in '84? I know for the Dakota Digital VHX, it requires...

My temp gauge is stuck in the lowest possible reading all the time, i have the sport dash with the temp, volt, and oil gauge in a 1980 Malibu. I looked through some videos on youtube and everybody suggested that a ground wire on the engine-block was usually the cause when gauge is stuck at...

I was driving in a dark mountain pass with my high beams on when I hear a pop sound under the dash. My headlights went dark. I checked under the dash all fuses seem to be OK. I drove the 15 miles home at 20 miles an hour with the flashers on. All lights work except the head lights I have no low...

Recently had my alternator and battery crap out on me (voltage regulator went and boiled the battery) so decided to upgrade to a CS144. I bought the plug WITH the resistor in it as I was not sure which to get as I have a cutlass with the rally gauges but it also has the CHARGE light so I thought...

Does anyone know where I can get a printed circuit board for my 1986 Cutlass Supreme? The one I currently have is corroded in some areas.

I have a 1985 Monte Carlo SS. A while back all my interior lights began to stay on, so I pulled the bulbs, recently i changed my light switch and installed the dome light to test. The switch controlled it fine, and the doors allowed the light to come on and off when opening and closing. I...

I found a headliner board for my 79 Monte at a junk yard, in 1 piece! Came from an 83 grand prix. 17 bucks vs a 100+ for a new 1. I'm pretty sure I know what to do. Any tips would be appreciated. Also I ordered a turn Signal switch today too. I am waiting on that and a manual too. I know I'll...
