79 620 wiring issues.

Recommended Posts

So I picked up a 79 620 been sitting for about 12yrs in Arizona. Had some chewed up wires from a dog getting to hanging wires. Got all that fixed or so I thought. Can't get any power to anything except power door locks and alarm. Any help or ideas of what to look for would help. Thanks

Soak fuse box & switches & relays (open them up) in plain old white vinegar for a few days, then clean, regrease switches where necessary, check ALL grounds etc.  Replace both turnsignal & hazard flashers with heavy duty ELECTRONIC flasher units, not the original "point style".  If 2 terminal, AutoZone "Novita" brand part #EL12 for both.  Sorry, don't have the part # if 3 terminal, but Novita does offer!  Chasing electrical gremlins sucks!! 😣

NO go to fusable link wire at the starter. Is it there? then replace all the fuses. try again.

I got rid of that truck ( my chop top) I bought this 79. I put the engine tranny out if the 74 into the 79. Now dealing with electrical issues. I will post pics tomorrow Hainz. Maybe you can guide me in the right direction. Either that or I swap out wire harness from the 74.

I might have a 78 or 79 620 dash harness. The 74 will be not be the same since the harnesses changed through the years.

74- Points vs 78/79- Electronics.

Thinking off the top of my head, it's a 78 cause electronic box mounted inside the cab. Will check it out today. PM me if interested.
