Well hello there everyone. I've been in the market for a Chevy truck Forum since I just recently bought my 1994 Sportside Standard Cab 1500 off of a family friend for... well $1500! 170k on the ticker, he was the original owner and a very conservative guy so it wasn't ragged on. The truck has been sitting for about 3 or 4 years in his back yard, but isn't in bad shape besides some light fade in the clear coat here and there and she needs some new doors(bottom of doors rotted a bit), but the cab is solid. She's got a Vortech Supercharger running 6psi. Other than that just a plain jane stock TBI with a single in dual out Cherry Bomb Turbo Muffler (Not staying on there for long, I like to hear the 8 cylinder symphony).
But now to the list of problems:
Interior Dome lights, cig lighter, and the cargo light all don't work. Which leads me to assume they're on the same Circuit. Any insight would be much appreciated.
I installed a new radio deck into it, but after I did that the Heat/AC controls fully works besides it only blows outside or just "normal" temp air. And the temperature slider flashes when you try to hit the "C" or "H" adjustment buttons. It then remains flashing with the whole bar (Can get pics).
He put a new fuel pump and fuel filter in her, the truck will stay at 12PSI of fuel pressure idling and won't budge from 12PSI even when you rev it in neutral or park, no matter what RPM. But as soon as the truck is in drive or reverse my fuel pressure gauge will drop at random down to 6PSI and she'll start to bog, sometimes starting from a stop then going through intersections it'll drop down to 3PSI and die completely or whenever it's at my most inconvenience. I ran a new ground for the fuel pump and the fuel pump is hard wired straight from the battery to a manual switch in the cab. The driver has to turn the fuel pump on prior to starting and after turning off.
Well that's my new truck in a nutshell, lookin' forward to chatting with everyone in the forum.

I've been up to traverse alot back when I lived out in MI. beautiful country up there. sounds like a fun truck project...if your 94 is like my '96 the lighting issue is possibly a blown fuse, mine has a cig lighter fuse which also has a couple lights on the circuit IIRC, as well as a CTSY fuse which handles the dome lights and such. check and see if you have any fuses blown...there should be a fuse panel in the door jamb for them, at least that's how it is in '96, but they did change the whole interior between 94 and 96, so yours might be a little different...
