another question..... what does this wire do. it comes out of the fuseblock in the engine compartment in the lower left part of it and is just sitting there not connected to anything

dinnut · 12-26-2003, 04:06 PM

and what does this wire do? it just sits down there. i know its not the horn one.... horn one is there too. the brown one with the metal connector is the one im talking about

Hotrod70C10 · 12-26-2003, 04:43 PM

I'm not sure on the wires but, don't feel bad about the 3 tone. Right now mine is the same way. Brown from the windsheild up, primer from there down, and blue interior.

**Stocker** · 12-26-2003, 04:59 PM

Looks like a piggyback type connector - my only guess would have been for the 2nd horn??

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-26-2003, 05:51 PM

Why did you change door's????

jmanz69 · 12-26-2003, 07:56 PM

The long wire is probably for a choke that is not being used on your truck now. IF you have an electric choke hooked up, see where it goes, it might be an addon because the original stopped working. The second wire could be a 2nd horn or maybe something to do with the parking lights. I can't see exactly where it is in the engine compartment, so it's tought to say. GM color for the park lights was and has been for a long time dark brown. Get a meter or test light and see if it becomes live when the lights are turned on.

Nothing wrong with 3-tone, my truck is too. Ochre, white and PRIMER

Had to go to my garage and make sure my doors were still there.

dinnut · 12-26-2003, 10:17 PM

your doors look better than mine randy....

the wire im talking about is a short one. the really long one goes to my prop valve...
see? this looks too short for an electric choke. i got a quadratoilet.
and today my truck was missing pretty good at high rpms for no apparent reason...

this is the brown wire in question...

**Canadian694x4** · 12-27-2003, 03:28 AM

Man I Hate Wiring Probs...I've got a few stray wires on my truck but she runs like a top (Knock Wood) as of now so I don't wanna mess with 'em until sumthin goes awry...Good Luck with tryin to figure her out tho...

dinnut · 12-27-2003, 03:32 AM

Any chick in better then no chick in your photos of your truck, even if she's made from stone

Any improvement on a truck is always good. Keep it up. Whens the big block going in

bc, the old door has a lot wrong with it. big ole dent, latch didnt work, regulator didnt work, door panel was trash, and i found this door and all this stuff worked and i got it for cheaper than if i bought all that stuff. plus it has a chrome vent window and trim

i want a big block bad, but i couldnt afford gas. its either a big block or fix up the truck in general. its gonna get the 383 treatment when this motor goes kaput. see this is my first car/truck and i need to get decent gas mileage. im only 16 and dont have a job

so ya i could get a bb but gas would kill me.
i found a complete 454/t400 for sale for 800.actually went and looked it was completely complete. a/c compressor, ps, alt, intake, carb everything you name it had it. i wanted it but i would rather have other stuff right now

BobbyK · 12-27-2003, 08:10 AM

Thatbbrown wire might be for the prop. valve warning light.
