Under The Hood

[93k1500beast]

Well I have a 93 and my lights act up and really won't switch from dims to brights and no cruise I'm guessing the lever any detailed fixes or changeouta I'm mechanically inclined but that's somethin I've never dug in to

1994-older the lever has very little to directly do with high/low beam operation - it operates a remote switch via a rod inside the column. The switch is down low closer to the firewall. If your column is tilt and has slop in the tilt joint, that can cause problems, and also the switch itself can go bad.

See the blue socket - that's the high/low beam switch. If you decide to replace it, first tape the rod into place in that exposed section above the steering column bracket, so that it can't fall out of place inside the column while you have the switch loose.

If you have a loose tilt column, you need to tighten it up before it gets worse. Plenty of video how-to's on that if you search youtube.

Hmmm. This has me thinking. I wonder if there is a way to have a longer cable on the cruise control module.

There are some differences in the ones used depending on engine combo but I honestly haven't paid that much attention because ya know what? I have never, ever, not once...replaced a cruise unit because it was the problem. So other than installing cruise on trucks that didn't come with it, I've never had to pull one from another truck to install on a different one.

Curious, what would you use a longer cable for?

To relocate it under the cab. When I do the LS swap on the 93 I'm going to relocate the washer bottle, radiator over flow, every bit of electrical by the fuel pump relay, battery, fill all of the holes in the firewall, hide the front wiring in the fenders, run the engine wiring down the tranny tunnel, eliminate the abs and now I want to relocate that cruise module! I'm sure there is more...

May could hide it somewhere in the header panel area using a vortec cruise box. Their cables are longer than the TBI versions.
