Awesome. Seems the 79' also has a similar pull switch the Malibu has. I have replaced that switch myself. Took some time to figure out the small button releases the switch but I figured it out. Malibu still in the shop as I had to buy a new Edelbrock Carb for it. once the mechanic is back from his hunting trip it'll get done. Hopefully the low beams with .After spending so much on the carb I may end up just parking the car for the winter. Needs new windshield and mufflers as soon as it comes out. Looks like I'll be doing more winter saving. This video will be a good reference for electrical if I need it. Thanks.
So it sounds like you had a similar problem I did. I would check the headlight switch and make its wired the correct way for your park lights to come on. Or something could be wrong with the switch.
I have a 85 c10 so when turning on the switch my headlights come on but my gauge, dimmer and running lights don’t. Also my left blinker stopped working. my dome light Is out as well have any tips ? I just put new tailights in yesterday and it’s a bummer I can’t see them glow like I wanted
Gday mate Just putting my 78 back together and was wondering if you could tell me if the wiring harness runs arcross the top of radiatior support from left to right headlights as i want it to look same as factory set up. Thanks
Yes it does run from left to right. It runs on the bottom side of the top portion of the core support. So as it’s runs across the front of the car you really can’t see it. Hope that helps!
I'm having almost the same issue original wiring harness all the lights work except my parking lights and I've replaced the switch with another switch from a another Chevy that I know works what could be the issue
I assume it has an original wiring harness in it. From some research I was doing, apparently there might be some fusible links down by the starter. I’m not sure where exactly it would be, but it might be worth peeking around in that area. And then it’s always a good idea to check all the grounds. On a 68 chevelle I worked on the dimmer switch would ground out on the floor of the car and blow the headlight fuse so maybe check to see if the dimmer on the floor is getting power or not. Short of those things you’re gonna have to patiently chase wires from the switch to the fuse block and from the block to headlights and check any and all grounds you come across.
@@HaydenClarkbbg i might just run my own new usable link for headlight switch... in an easily accessible place so I can check it easier... wiring is starting to get old and brittle in these squarebodys
@@workingmansrestorations7071 I have no dash lights. So driving in the dark everything's pitch black I haven't done any troubleshooting, other than knowing that pulling my light knob and twisting in any fashion only gets the floor(dome,courtesy?) lights to come on when twisted all the way, and headlights come on as normal. I'm gonna replace that part right off the back, as it's gritty as hell to twist and doesn't feel right. It's one of those problems that is a problem itself, and may host other problems. Anyways, the quare body forums are really good at giving you the circuity details so you can run around with a multimeter. Should be able to find where your short is on an hour. Only problem, if it's a fuse that went out, it very well could be because your wiring harness is rubbing somewhere
You also skipped over the hard part of getting the little bezel off the dashboard with some kind of a spanner wrench or something, the rest is a piece of cake

Was going to take it to a shop cause I hate wiring, but now I'm pretty sure I got this
@@andrewwagner942 Hell yeah! You definitely got this!

You bet! I’m glad you found it to be helpful! I’m excited for you to get your car back!
i have brake lights , high beams, and blinkers all the way around but no running lights any idea what i should be looking at on my 83 square body?
So it sounds like you had a similar problem I did. I would check the headlight switch and make its wired the correct way for your park lights to come on. Or something could be wrong with the switch.
Could be the switch, but I'd check the grounds first. There's a ton of them on these, almost a ground for every light. Good luck!
More square body videos please!

Is there anything specific you would want to see or just anything square body related.

Yeah it’s about time! He’s been neglected for far to long!

I would check grounds at the light socket and also make sure power is getting from the switch the the light. Double check fuses. Easy place to start.
I NEED HELP WITH AN 81 c10…. Soon as you hook the battery up all the lights come on
All of the lights as in headlights, marker lights, dash lights and interior lights?
I am working on my 86 dually... I have no power to headlight switch
Figure it out?
@@razorsazors no. I don't get much time to work on my stuff

Which one is for the brake lightsv
The brake lights have their own circuit that is run off the brake light switch that makes contact with the brake pedal.

My truck has been owned by several people before i owned it. It’s very likely that the piece you’re referring to is missing from my truck.
