Trying to figure out if the rails from the '92 Chamonix will fit into the '93 Exceed chassis. Thanks

I’m interested, will DM you

Thanks I will investigate and write back.

Glowplugs consume 3.2A Gauge consume 0.15A from white wire which shares fuses for Glow Plugs. I can confirm that maybe 50% of the times I try to activate the glow plugs (with my momentary switch) I can hear the GP relay click and within 1/4 of a second the red fuse blows. I’m starting to...

Do you have a sense for what part? As in the white wire that goes from the fuse to the EGT gauge?

That actually makes sense, instead of tapping into an ignition switch/power. I’m still at odds for why it would blow out the fuse though.

Ok here are the results of the test: I cut out the momentary switch, tested it with a multimeter and it has continuity when pushed down I took the momentary switch wire that went towards the glow plugs and connected it directly to power (via that sort of expandable fuse thing). I immediately...

Thanks will do. Is it ok to disconnect the EGT gauge, cut out the momentary switch and test the glow plugs by putting in the fuse and then pulling it out (as an alternative to a button)? What would be my indication that the glow plugs have done their job? am I supposed to hear their relay? do...

Yes it’s the 10A fuse that’s blowing off. Should I simply search for another auxiliary fuse connection and separate the two devices? If I disconnect the gauges and their fuse I should be able to test if the glow plugs circuit works right?

So my mechanic told me my glow plugs are all dandy but their relay or timing or whatever gets them running when I turn the key isn’t working well. His solution was to install a momentary switch on the steering wheel which probably just turns on the glow plugs. He put in this sort of double fuse...

Ok, here goes: I tried to trace the 3 wires coming into this circuit but it’s impossible without taking apart the dashboard. The wires snake up along the steering column into what looks like the dashboard. I tested voltages with a multimeter and at no point did I get 12V. Not when the car is...

couldn’t get to it yesterday but will surely today

Cool I will investigate later today and let you know what I find, thanks.

Btw if its some sort of real/fake alarm how would you imagine its turned on/off?

The two wires marked LED go nowhere, they are just cut out after a few inches. Someone tried to steal this car from the previous owner, maybe this is the remainder of the collateral damage.
