Re: What did you get done-01/28

The knob for my fan control has been broken since I bought me '86 GMC. I have an '87 non-AC cab I am not going to be using so I pulled the control head off to put in my '86.
PO put in an detachable-face stereo that is basicly mounted to the bezel. I've never had speakers hooked up so all I know is it lights up, but don't know if it works? Not real concerned with that right now.
I've also had an issue with my dash light fuse blowing when I pull on my headlight switch.

Since I have to remove the radio to get the bezel off anyways I decide to just pull it all-together. Some people shouldn't be allowed to touch wires in a car (or a house too I suspect). What a rats nest of wires. Going to the strangest of places.
Judging by the fat cables running to under the seat I assume the PO had an amp of some type before. This solved the mystery of the toggle that did nothing on the bottom of my dash though.

After cleaning that mess up and getting everything back together (yay, no more jabbing my finger when trying to adjust my fan), I decide to put a good fuse in the dash light spot just to see if maybe I fixed that by getting rid of the rats nest.
What do you know, they work! Two birds with one stone...
