Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
No fires and we have power.
Well got the electrical systems all fused up and no fires. Yahooooooo!! I have success on all circuits except no brake lights at all and the horns are on all the time. I have turn signals, hazards and markers, but no brake lights. I have signal at the brake switch, but nothing at the rear harness connector. So, I am going to look into the steering column wiring. I am awaiting diagnosis instructions from AAW. It could also be the inner cab rear harness connector, but I doubt it. As for the horns, well I tried new grounds for both of them and dismantling the steering column horn button assembly and still, horn works all the time. No clue there. Here are a few pics of the wiring under the hood. I got things pretty clean. Junction from battery to supply battery to passengers side of engine compartment. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...43425%3Aot1lsi AC/HEAT wiring on passengers side of engine compartment. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...96734%3Bnu0mrj AC/HEAT trinary switch wire routing. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...96834%3Bnu0mrj Got the motor fluids replenished and just need to install O2 sensors on headers for a restart. I also got the Vintage air system calibrated and it works like a charm. Blows very hard thru vents. More to come and hopefully some resolution. |

Soooo super clean! I love it!

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Looking good. I could have used your horn problem on my way home from work I got cut off twice tonight. I did get back at the 2nd drive and blasted Cummins smoke in there face.
sounds like you have constant power to the horns it should be easy to trace. |
Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Update time. Well today got some electrical gremlins taken care of. I took the whole horn assembly apart at the steering wheel and found the after market plunger for the horn button was not long enough and allowing the circuit to stay grounded. I fixed it and that seemed to fix the horn. As for the brake lights, the connector for the steering column turn signal switch was jacked and not connecting the way it was supposed to. I lubed it up with some dialectic grease, checked all the wire connections and put it back together. That seemed to fix the issue. I now have brake lights. However, I may need a new turn signal switch if the connector acts up again. And finally, My gauges were working, but I could not get a reading on the temp or fuel. I pulled the gauge cluster off the dash and discovered I had the temp signal wired to the fuel gage and vise versa. Amazing, no matter how careful I am, there always seems to be a few stupid blunders like that. At least it was easy to fix. I also fired up the engine today from inside the cab. Thats was another milestone. Here is a shot of the gauge cluster all lit up at night. Blue LED's

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Way to go! Sounds like electrical is done? What's left before you can drive it at least in and out of the garage?

Once I driver her around the neighborhood and test brakes, clutch etc, I will need to get custom exhaust done, then wheels and tires last. Next I will focus on the interior carpet, box for behind the seats, amp and stereo, seat belts and whatever else I forgot. |
Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Exciting times!!!

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Cluster is awesome!
Congrats on getting the electrical done. |

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Well, finally got the hood 98% of the way aligned. I'm afraid it will never be perfect. :(. Got the wiring for the amp in place and finished some odds and ends.
Here are some more pics of wiring porn. Lol Mounting of accelerator module on drivers fender. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...%3B34%3Bnu0mrj finished weatherpak connector for rear harness http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...%3A34%3Bnu0mrj This is what's left over after cutting out waste and adding mods. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...23834%3Bnu0mrj |
Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Now I think I know why I can't plug in my throttle peddle in to my computer. I'm missing the accelerator module. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
No I did not get it with my engine. The PO I bought it from was clueless about the engine and at the time I did not have the wisdom to know what was missing. I do have a donor suburban that I can get it from but the engine in the burb won't if I grab it. I will check with a salvage yard and see if I can get one.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Well, you only need this if your motor was drive by wire. If it is, then you need the accelerator pedal and tac module from the same vehicle if you can get it. You may
Also research and make sure that you have compatible accelerator pedal and tach module components for your year and model engine. This will save you headaches. Search ls1tech and you will get a ton of info there about your motor. |
Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
I have the DBW peddle and a wiring harness. hopefully I just need the tach module.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Happy New Year everybody! Well, Santa Fe was (((((((COLD))))))) burrrrrr but just can't beat the fresh air and views out there.
When I returned home, I found many small packages awaiting me. My knobs for wiper and wiper delay. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...3B425%3Aot1lsi new American made turn signal switch http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...3B625%3Aot1lsi headlight retainer rings. My old ones had a missing tab on each side. http://images2.snapfish.com/23232323...3B825%3Aot1lsi I also received a message that my wiper delay unit will be on it's way to me this weekend. So, weather permitting, I should hopefully get the dash back together this week and move on to assembling the rest of the interior. I also need to put some more elbow grease into the outer grill. A few passes with finer and finer grit sand paper until it is smooth enough for a polish. I really want to use as much of the original grill as possible. |
