High Beam/Trans Neutral?
Gentlemen- I have spent a week examining my ‘80 C20 350/350 wiring manual with no avail. In short, can anyone assist in identifying this LT GRN wire. Best I can tell it is for either BU lights, Hi beams or trans neutral switch. However, my BU lights are working. The wire originates from a grommet in the firewall behind the instrument panel. It seems unusually long. I am severely colorblind and this has been a challenge…
Thank You, Single Action Army |

Re: High Beam/Trans Neutral?
Does your parking brake have a switch on it?
It could be the parking brake indicator light.

Thank you Getter. It does, but wiring schematic shows BLK/LT BLU and GRAY to Park SW.

Looks like an added wire long ago from a previous owner

Green is often used for:
Temp Gauge/Idiot sender AC clutch Possible a PO ran a new wire while trying to figure out why the temp gauge never moved. Often happened if the OEM sender was replaced. |

Best thing to do is start tracing it back, where does it go, what does it connect to at other end.

Re: High Beam/Trans Neutral?
Curiosity led to me yanking out the instrument panel. The wire wasn’t factory and probably used for POs CB hookup. Oh well, now I can take a shot at replacing the speedo needle and burned out indicator lamps. Thank you for everyone’s help.
