I'm going to try to leave this one alone!

Anyone have any idea what this guy does on the dash? It turns from left to right, and feels like there is a solid off position all the way to the left. Got any ideas?

GMC65Guy · 10-09-2008, 09:41 PM

that should be where the cigar lighter is.

Thats what I found in the LMC catalog too, I'm stumped. I pulled it out of the dash, the original color of the truck is under it, I assume it's original, any other ideas?

Hmmm, thats the first thing I would of done...Kinda looks like the cruise-control indicator light that comes on my Super-Duty.

kizer · 10-10-2008, 10:32 AM

Intermittent Wipers?
Bass Volume Control?

PrerunnerRob · 10-10-2008, 10:40 AM

The wires on the back were missing, and there was a rats nest of hokey wiring under the dash. I was wondering if it was for the wiper speed, buth then I noticed the wiper switch is two speed already. hmmmmm......

I will have to look at my GMC Shop manual when I get home, but I'm about 99% sure that it is your emergency hazard lights. I know it was on my '62

Moax · 10-10-2008, 08:29 PM

I just looked at my GMC maintenance manual, and it is for hazard lights. They call it the Emergency Disability Light Switch.

Awesome! Thanks so much, thay may explain why the rear brake lights do not work. I hate to ask for more, but any chance you have a wiring diagram for it?

protrash64 · 10-10-2008, 11:03 PM

I was just telling someone how I got my 'Burb as a beater to drive around. Well, guess what? New carpet, seats, stereo, bags, glass........My pile of parts for the pick-up never get installed.

I would say you are screwed.

HAHAHA, I'm getting worried already!

I just picked up a bunch of 2"x4"x10' studs to make a new bed floor. I went to my buddys wood shop earlier and ripped them in half to a little under 3/4" thick, and will be installing them hopefully tomorrow(this all depends on what time he stops by with a 12er of Corona

) Anyway, I'm not doing any metal bed strips, it's going to be all wood, and yes, I know it won't be perfect, but it will have a useful bed floor again! I'll try yo remember to take pictures as I go along, and will make a cut sheet for anyone who wants it. Did I mention that I'm less then $30 into my bed floor?

protrash64 · 10-10-2008, 11:40 PM

You better let your buddy install it or your going to find something to fix!!!!

Moax · 10-10-2008, 11:54 PM

I can scan the wiring diagrams on Monday, then I'll post them.

Moax · 10-11-2008, 11:47 AM

I was able to scan the diagrams this morning. I haven't attached a file before, so this might take a try ot two.
I keep getting the message that the upload failed. Any ideas?

Moax · 10-11-2008, 11:55 AM

Okay, I think I've got it now.
