I am trying to hook up my keyless entry to flash the parking lights when I unlock the doors. I know there is a brown wire that goes to the parking lights. Does anybody know an easy place to get to this wire?

Well, my new lock switch from Ecklers came in the mail. It had the same sticker, the same numbers, and is exactly the same as the power window switch I bought from checker. I plugged the new switch in and it was doing the same thing, it would work from the driver's side switch but the passenger...

You're right Craig. I just went and looked at the package and I got the power window switch. I can't believe it isn't the same, it looks exactly the same. None of the parts stores had a matching door lock switch, so I just ordered a new one from Ecklers. Jim, I tried taking apart my other...

So the dealership said it was a bad drivers side switch, but they were going to charge me $65 in parts and $90 in labor ($90 to plug in a switch!?). So I went to Checker and got one of those $15 switches. That seems to have fixed it, except that the new switch doesn't do anything. I put the new...

I had a different wiring diagram that left out the two wires going to the anti theft. I've checked all the wiring. When I hit the passenger switch, the power goes over to the drivers switch, but it doesn't make it through to the actuator wires unless the drivers switch is also pressed. I wonder...

My power locks only work if I press both switches at the same time. Does anyone know what would cause this? Do you think it could be a bad switch? I've checked the continuity of everything and the wiring is all good. All I can think of is that one or both of the switches must not be working...

Does anyone know where I can find 2 tail light lenses without the backup lights for my '82? I want to convert my car to 4 tail lights like the attached picture but I can't find them anywhere. I've looked in the catalogues and on ebay and in the parts section of this forum and the only ones I can...

wouldn't a bulb make it so only one side doesn't flash? What happened was that my signals would flash at normal speed and then would slow down until they were just on without blinking. Then a few minutes later when i used the signal again they would start out normal and then slow down to solid...

I've tried finding info by searching the forum but everything i've found says that if the turn signal flasher goes out the hazards should still work and vice versa. My turn signals and my hazards both don't flash, the lights just come on solid. Could it still be a flasher or both flashers?

you should check out http://www.ls1tech.com They have a conversions/hybrids section with a lot of people putting ls1's in just about anything

I think i'm gonna go ahead and try these actuators just because they're about 10 times cheaper than the actual corvette actuators. Is it going to be hard to switch from the stock acuators to these new ones? I'm not really sure how to wire them up.

Will this actuator work in my '82? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7944309306&category=33696

I can't get the antenna motor to come out on my '82. There's a rubber thing on the outside of the body that seems to be holding it in, how do I get it out?

I converted my a/c system over to the new type of freon last summer and it worked great. Well now it doesn't. I know that the system is charged because when I turn it on the compressor turns on and the pipe under the hood gets all frosty, but for some reason cold air isn't coming out of my...

Isn't my power antenna supposed to be hooked up to the radio? Well it's hooked up to a switch under the dash on the drivers side that I have to hold up or down until the antenna is all the way up or down. I was just wondering if this is how it's supposed to be or if a previous owner did this.
