Re: wiring help
Easy. At the headlight switch, move the parking light wire (probably purple) to the tail light terminal (probably brown). If that's still not easy enough, just put a jumper across the two.

Re: wiring help
I believe there is a GM headlight switch that allowed the parklights to be on with the headlights. I don't know what models it was in though, so that's kind of useless. But if you're going to change switches anyway, it might be worth investigating.
After reading the link, I would imagine it would be any switch built after 1968.

Re: wiring help
I did the same trick from the above link and it works perfect. Love having the running lights on with the headlights.

Re: wiring help
you're welcome - glad the link helped out. I can't take credit though - I had the same question about 6 months ago and someone sent me the link also - think it was markeb01 if I remember - but anyway, that's what's great about this site - similar questions pop up over and over again - and with all the experience on here, someone is bound to know the answer.
by the way - the rest of the "6066 GMC Guy" website is really good also - lots of good info that applies to both chevs and gmcs, especially electrical stuff. |
