need wiring help

it's a gt 1

Use the page with the FULL SCHEMATIC, and wire one circuit at a time.

There are pages for dash and switch wiring. Go slowly and follow the diagrams without modification, and use the test page at the rear of the manual to verify your work.

I've done five or six GT re-wires, and the manual has almost all of it correct. The flasher circuit is fine. If yours isn't working, look for something you missed, or some terminal not connected correctly.

Warmest regards,

Glenn, I have good news and bad news.

1st the good news, I have an extra switch.

2nd bad news, i am in Iraq for another 6 months.

I will have my wife go out and see if she can find it. If she can its yours.

Hi, Glenn,

I'd like to help but I really don't know how. If you have the CD, the written and illustrated wiring instructions are all in the manuals, and all I could do is repeat them by typing them out. That wouldn't help, eve if I had that kind of time.

The best advice I can give is what I've already typed: Handle the wiring by tracing and installing one circuit at a time. Use the Full Schematic page to follow every single wire, and refer to the individual pages when detail is needed.

It's all there. Just work slowly and carefully, and if something doesn't operate when you hit a switch or make a contact, go back and trace your wiring again. If there's an error you will find it. If there is no error, it will work.

Six spools won't get you all the colors you need, but you can tag your wires with strips of masking tape to make them identifiable.

"Some" gauges makes it seem like you haven't got the whole instrument complement. Figure out what you are missing and try to replace those gauges. Oil pressure is optional, but positively helpful to have on board, same for the ammeter. You can live without a tach and use your ears to figure out when to shift, but it's a good instrument to have when you want it. Speedometer and tank gauges are mandatory for almost every state inspection. Lights, hazards, reverse lights and turn signals are also mandatory for most inspections.

Figure out what you have and what you willl add later, and trace your wiring accordingly. If you plan to add something later on, put the wiring circuitry in now, and add the item later. Just tape off the wire ends to prevent shorts, and remember that the best way to wire a GT is with the body separated from the chassis and upside-down on sawhorses. Getting under the dash in any other way is no less than insane.

Best I can do for you.

Warmest regards,

and getting out is just as hard or harder
