Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"
Got home late tonight and spent some time making repairs on my pool equipment. I decided to spend a while chasing gremlins. Several minor issues had not been attended to so I worked my way down the list.
The AM/FM was not receiving and i assumed it was an antenna issue. I pulled the a/c duct and located the antenna wire. It had gotten pulled loose so that was an easy fix. I tightened the connector to prevent further issues. I tuned all the presets and made audio output adjustments as well.
The clock had stopped working as well. I traced the power wire I discovered the connector on the back of the clock had been pulled loose. I reconnected it and set the clock. Its working now and keeping the correct time as well.
The last item in the dash is the temp gauge. It was reading previously, but not now. I pulled the wire from the sending unit and jumped it to ground. No response! It looks like I will have to pull the cluster to check the gauge.
Two out of three ain't bad. I can sleep tonight.
