Re: Lq9 swap wiring help needed
Fuel Pump wire, I use 12 gauge, But 14 gauge will work fine.
Purple TCC brake switch wire, You will need a Dual Pole Brake Switch, '85 Chevy C10 w/ cruise is a good application, How to wire it has been covered several times here. Cranking signal wire....Not needed. AAW VSS power....Not Needed. Your PCM has a 4000 PPM signal out of the PCM for an electric Speedometer. |

Re: Lq9 swap wiring help needed
Thank you so much that helped a lot I didn't do any wiring today had to pull my motor back out to move my motor stands one hole back took me most of the afternoon I'm doing this on my own and it faught me more than it did the first time I dropped it in :-/
What about pink ignition feed wire off of the AAW Kit do I use this on the LS swap? Also the ls swap harness has a purple cranking signal wire where do I connect it at? I am very very new to ls swaps have only been reading up on them for 6-7 months & I have to say needing a brake relay kit is new to me I wasn't even told this when I purchased my motor and harness. I purchased my motor,transmission and harness all as one kit & was told it was drop in ready with only a 3-4 wire hook up. Thank you for your time Miguel Stevens |

Re: Lq9 swap wiring help needed
You don't need a brake relay kit, all you need is a replacement brake switch (sometimes called stop switch). Your truck already has one, but its probably a 2-pole (meaning it has 2 poles, or blades, where wires connect). Right now, you have two wires going to it, which make the brake lights turn on when you press the pedal.
You need to replace it with a newer-model 4-post unit. I have the part # in my build a few pages in, but I don't have it off hand at this second. All it does it add the hookups for TCC, which will already be in your new harness labeled "TCC". Its straightforward replacement, and hooks up simply with a few female spade's.
