    Has anyone tore into thier Instrument Panel?

    putting in the new shift indicator is no problem at all. was wondering more about the actual instrument panel since theres a small piece of plastic on the bottom that guides the wire on the shift indicator. This little piece is broken on my instrument panel therefore there is no guide for the...

    Has anyone tore into thier Instrument Panel?

    So I was in the process of replacing my Shift Indicator on my Jimmy when I noticed that the area where the wire on the shift indicator sits on the gauge cluster backing plate was broken off. I know LMC sells a new backing plate but I may just try and find one at a junkyard. Im wondering tho if...

    shift indicator

    John Ward how did you attach the wire to the metal clip? did you just crimp it in there? im thinking of trying the same but the parts to crimp are shot on mine. might end up just buying a new one unless can get it to attach somehow to the clip

    I have a broken cable on my shift indicator for my Jimmy. does anyone know if the cable can be repaired with fishing string or something or know if the cable can be purchased separately without changing out the whole indicator? thank you

    Strange Starting issue on 1980 Jimmy

    so I tightened up the linkage to the transmission which eliminated the play in the column and also made a huge difference when turning the ignition. Most of the time it starts right up if anything It just needs very slight pressure on the shifter to get it started now

    Strange Starting issue on 1980 Jimmy

    I get what your saying but both the ignition switch and the neutral safety switch must be operable if I’m able to get it to start right? Possibly out of adjustment? I’ve tried adjusting the switch and it either makes it worse or the same as before. It seems like there is an area in the column...

    Strange Starting issue on 1980 Jimmy

    Hmmm ok tried the test light and didn’t get any lights to light up on the tester but I’m gonna try again when I have someone to assist. It’s kinda hard to use the test light turn the key and shift the column all at the same time. If all else fails I guess I’ll try another ignition switch or...

    Strange Starting issue on 1980 Jimmy

    Ok I tried starting in all positions other than park and nothing happened. Also tried adjusting the neutral safety switch but that didn’t fix it either. Was also wondering if the linkage to the transmission may possibly be a culprit? Thinking of tightening it up a little This area on the...

    Strange Starting issue on 1980 Jimmy

    I have a 1980 GMC Jimmy that im having some minor issues with but its driving me crazy. Jimmy runs great!, everything works the only thing is that if you turn the key to start it nothing happens. The trick to starting it is you have to apply slight pressure on the shifter on the steering column...

    HVAC speed control

    just a quick update on this. Haven't really worked on the Blazer over the winter. I did have to solder in the splices, ended up using some self soldering butt connectors which seem to work great! Still blowing a fuse when I turn on the high speed so im going to check both ends of the main red...

    HVAC speed control

    I got the wire harness in and all speeds are working however I blow a fuse under the dash whenever I switch to high speed. I’m assuming the bigger red wire that goes to the junction box might be the culprit?

    HVAC speed control

    Thank u Chengny appreciate your response my apologies on the schematics as they’re kind of confusing for a guy like me but now that u marked them in color I understand now. On another note I realize my wiring is a mess thus the reason for me trying to fix it. Looks like the harness I picked up...

    HVAC speed control

    ok I finally found a harness at the junkyard but im a little confused. The donor vehicle was a different year but the setup looks identical so I snatched it. Im not sure if the different years used the colored wires in a different area. on my model the light blue plugs into the top connector of...

    HVAC speed control

    hello all im having a hard time locating a harness at any of my local junkyards. Not sure if I can wire those 2 cut wires directly to the resistor or relay or if they need to go plugged into any other hvac parts under the hood. If anyone can help me figure out where these 2 wires go I would...

    HVAC speed control

    looks like the wire colors on my vehicle, of course the splice that's there with a different color doesn't help. Any idea if the black/white wire or the green wire should be plugged. Wondering if one wire should go to resistor and the other to relay? into the resistor and if so where should...
