The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

[thz71]

This is my first post to this forum so please excuse if I'm asking a repetitive question.
I have a 95 C1500 and I'm Sure this been asked a few times but i haven't seen it, any way, my gas gauge bounces around while driving (accelerating, slowing down, turning) it also points way to the right when it has a full tank. Is this a gauge problem or a sender problem? My old 2000 silverado would only show the right fuel amount when you put it in neutral while driving. What have y'all come up with as the problem and fix?

Mine is the EXACT same

QUick question. I have a 98 rcsb with power locks manual windows. Do the mirrors/windows have their own seperate wiring harness? Or can I just splice in?

1996 Suburban: Does anyone know what would cause the dash illumination for the rear wiper, rear hatch release, and 4x4 switch to quit working all at once? Thanks in advance.

Trying to re-run the wires back to where they belong on the transmission and transfer case. I have a lead (what I'm calling a lead is a long grouping of wires with several ends) that looks like it would be long enough and has the correct plugs.

My question is: This lead has the round connection for the tranny on it. Is this lead have all the correct connectors? And does anyone have a trick for running this with the cab on, short of cutting a hole in the floor?

I have a 97 Silverado Z71 with the transmission out of a 96 GMC Sierra Z71

okay guys trying to figure out my ac on my 90 k1500, My compressor, dryer, all new with good vacuum pulled b4 charging. air worked great for a few weeks and now much clutch wont engage on my compressor thats brand new. no power goin to the switch when the ac should be on, so i traced the wire back and it went inside thru the fire wall and to the computer and i have no power with my test light, does this mean the computers bad?

no just had to untape all the wires to trace the one back and see why its not getting power "ex broken or burnt wire. The wire nut was just temporary so i could put power to switch and make sure my clutch would actually engage.

Don't use a test light on a computer circuit...

Whoops, to late now but either way there must be a short from the ac controls to the plug in my pic.
