GMC Parklight Socket/Pigtail

[rusty_67]

Hey Folks,

So this one has me stumped. I've been trying to find the short piece of wiring that goes from the park light on 68-72 GMC trucks (front grill lights) to the rad support. The park light end is an 1157 socket that should lock into the housing and the rad support end is a grommet type connector. I think.

I must've sold the originals I had with the rest of my old wiring harness, with the assumption that the 'complete' American Autowire classic update kit, would, in fact, be complete.

If I could even find the socket part number I'd be happy, I've tried a few from the parts stores and they dont seem to fit.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Russ

Would this be the little critter just to the right of the voltage regulator?




You need to know that the plug you speak of has only two wires per side. The left side has a purple wire and a light blue wire, and the right side has a purple wire and a dark blue wire. The purple wires are for the parking lights and are common to both sides, and the blue wires are for the front turn signals.

The grounds are made by the light sockets mounted to the grill.



Look at the left edge of the diagram and you can see the parking lights between the headlights with the wires running as I described. The ground symbol is just off the sockets.

I just dealt with this issue myself a few weeks ago. I ended up reusing the originals after a good cleaning. Someone on the parts board should be able to help you out

That would be where it attaches to the rad support, yes. I need the portion on the other side of the rad support.

Thanks!

Hey, yeah, I read through your thread a while back, actually used the picture you posted in an ISO ad on a local buy sell site.

That’s exactly what I’d like to do (restore one). Having a hard time finding someone with the parts. I’ve posted on a couple partouts on the parts board. Haven’t got responses yet. Hopefully ill be able to track one down!

Yep, understood. Just hoping someone either has a set of these, or knows where to find them, or know where to get the ends, etc.

I could just make it work with what I've been able to find, but I'd rather have it look the way its supposed to.
