    theres a little grey plug that comes from under the truck that connects to another plug connected to the fuse block. its what give the fuel pump power and powers the dash gauge. it was one of those minor overlooked things.

    I was trying to browse that site for info on the pns switch...couldn't find the PDF that had the info. Hook a brotha up with a link to it?

    well theres no pdf for the pns switch. i used several. (back up lamp, starting system, transmission etc) i just looked through all the schematics that had the pns switch diagram and made notes. basically through my research this is what ive found out about the pns switch.

    thick yellow wire comes from dash
    purple thick wire goes to relay in fuse box
    lt green power reverse lights
    yellow goes to pns output in c100 connector
    pink is ignition
    black is ground

    so i think once you find those you should be good. my truck is 4wd so i have a second lt green wire that gooes to the tcc and to the tranfer case control module. i cant find my test light right now so i havent been able to find out where im losing power. even with everything hooked up the starter solenoid isnt engaging. so i need to trace the wiring with a test light and figure it out.

    havent really been able to do much with the truck. i officially gave up on the pns switch issue and decided to just send it over to an electrical shop. the truck starts and sounds great with open headers. now that its running theres trans fluid leaking from where the trans connects to the transfer case and also where the dip stick goes in. the engine is also still crooked so the trans doesnt line up with the crossmember. im going to let the shop finish all that. oh yea my my blower wont turn on anymore either.

    i decided o also change the front lights and turn signals back to stock. already installed the turn signals and parking lamps. im just waiting for the clear headlights to come in the mail. here are some recent pics







    eentually ill get it painted and put a cowl hood on. i want to to look kinda like this one...

    getting there!!!!!!
    i'm not using my PNS switch. since i'm using the trans from the camaro they had the PNS in the column from what i'm told & the shaft coming out the trans is too short to attach the switch to.
    i'm the only person who EVER drives my truck anyway.

    is this like a 3 or 4 wire harness plug? I am having the same issue.
