Re: 72 k5 electrical work

Can't give ya any help for people in your area but pulling out the messed up wires and replacing with a stock harness, really isn't all that hard to do right there in your own driveway.

Any more details you could give on your troubles?

I agree with VT. The wire harnesses are in sections, which makes it fairly easy. Their is an underdash, underhood, headlight & taillight sections. If you buy a repop harness, it should be plug & play (of sorts).

Lots of little problems. Like front turn signals only turn on when in reverse. I know I have a new short thats not letting the battery get charged up. I will try to work on it myself for now. I will keep you posted.

Re: 72 k5 electrical work

The easiest solution is to just buy replacements. You can do the engine compartment quickly. The under dash is a little harder because you'll need to work around the column, stereo and most likely pull the glove box. I haven't replace the taillights or the long wire from the firewall back, but it's easy to see so it can't be too difficult.
