Guest Anonymous Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 The car wouldn't start saturday night after work, so I flatbedded it to my shop assuming the p/n saftey switch was shot. It was about 11PM and I was not gonna bring it back to my house and scratch my head for 3 days trying to figure out what was going on. Turns out that the actual wiring harnes has in some way dissintigrated for the switch. can this happen? I know the wiring harness for my fog lights ceased to exist when I took it apart. They said they can try and find a pigtail from GM, or just rewire it, but the car will crank in gear. Should we wait, and hunt down a pigtail, or just wire it and have it on the road this afternoon? I really need the car to commute to work. Also, I doubt the engine harness for the 5-speed has this pigtail? Quote
Robby1870 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 yeah, 5spd harness doesnt have stuff for the P/N switch, just two wires or something like that for the reverse lights, I think Quote
jeremy Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 just rewire it, but the car will crank in gear. I would just have it rewired. Quote
White93z34 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 i'm prety sure we have a spare 3.4 harnas at work, i could cut off the p/n connector and about a foot of wire if need be. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks Chris... But i just picked it up. Not too sure what they did, but the car is okay. They charged me $150 to do whatever... apparently the wires were corroded or the harness plug had corroded or something... Quote
jeremy Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 glad to hear that they got her going again....$150 isn't too bad either.... Quote

I mean you make it sound like you threw $150 at them and don't know what they fixed. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I *think* is what they did was cut out the two wiring harness ends (that are supposedly corroded) and spliced the cooresponding wires together. I was trying to get info from the guy but he was on the phone at the time and giving me bits and pieces of what they did between conversation. I'm not sure though, thats what I got out of it. Whatever they did, they fixed my car. Yeah, maybe I could have done it myself, but I was guessing the p/n switch was bad, so I would have been fiddling around for days on a part that wasn't the problem. $150 wasn't the end of the world... but I would have rather of spent the $150 on something else.
