Volt/Ohm Meter: A Volt/Ohm meter is always a good tool to have on hand when installing any type of electrical components into any vehicle. Most basic units provide the two functions required to diagnose most electrical issues seen during a harness install. These two functions are the ability to read DC Voltage and electrical continuity or Ohms.

Parts required for installation of this harness: The LS1/LS6 engine and 4L60E transmission section of the wire harness requires the following parts for proper installation and operation. Factory installed engine sensors, injectors and coils should be perfect matches for this harness. Do not purchase the parts listed below unless you are missing it or need to replace a faulty one.
Another option for mounting this fuse block will require you to remove the rear cover from it. Insert a small, flat screw driver into the red slots as labeled in the picture below. Push the screw driver about ½” into the slot, gently pry on the screw driver handle towards the center of the fuse block while at the same time pulling the rear cover away from the fuse block.

Behind the dash board is always a good place to mount the PCM. Depending on your dash board and whether or not your a/c evaporator box will allow for it, you most likely can mount the PCM here. Under the passenger seat is another good place to mount the PCM. The 5ft of harness should allow you to mount the PCM here.

Wiring the Interior of your Vehicle: This section of your wiring project requires some special attention to routing and attachment of the harness. Separate out the harness breakouts for each switch or component. Group the breakouts together that will be routed to the same section of your dash board.
Page 33
d. #921 is the sender wire for your engine coolant temperature gauge. This wire is simply a straight through wire that connects the engine coolant temperature gauge to the engine coolant temperature sender. e. #969 is the ground wire for your gauges. You need to jumper this wire to each gauge’s ground terminal and to each indicator light ground wire.

2. Headlight Switch Section: Connect the wires to your headlight switch as the diagram indicates. Included the parts kit and bubble pack are terminals and a connector that mate to this type of headlight switch. Use the jaw style crimpers to crimp these terminals onto the wires. Hold the connector up to the headlight switch as it would connect and insert the wires as shown in the diagram.
Page 35
g. #959 is the low amperage headlight switch power wire. This wire is connected internally within the headlight switch to the #927, #929 and #930 wires when the headlight switch is on. 3. Dimmer Switch Section Use the connector and terminals provided in the bubble pack to make this connection.
Page 36

a. #934 provides battery 12 Volts to the ignition switch. In order for this type of ignition switch to function properly you are required to splice this wire and connect it to both terminals as indicated in the diagram. Use one of the butt connectors from the bubble pack to do this splice.
Page 38
b. #931 & #933 wires are must be connected this to the ignition terminal of your ignition switch. #931 provides power to the coil fuse. #933 provides power to the wiper, turn and gauge/cruise fuses. c. #932 wire must be connected to the accessory post of your ignition switch. This wire provides 12 Volts to the window, a/c-heat and radio fuses.

Note: Using the PCM to control your a/c compressor brings with it several benefits. The first is the PCM has a built in rpm window that it allows the a/c compressor to operate within. Anything above 4300 rpm the PCM shuts off the a/c compressor. Once the engine rpm returns to below 3900 rpm the a/c compressor is reengaged.

9. Cruise Switch Section The cruise switch section of this harness provides power, cruise on/off, resume/accelerate and set/coast wires. Connect these wires as follows. Most late model GM steering columns years 1983-1993 already have or can be retrofitted with a cruise control switch. See figure below for the proper connection of these wires to a factory GM cruise control switch part number 25111262.
Page 41
Driver Door Section Route these wires over to the driver’s door. Connect as follows. a. #910 wire is battery 12 Volts to power an electric lock switch. b. #913 wire is accessory and ignition hot 12 Volts to power an electric window switch.
Page 42
Ground #3 Connect this #969 wire to a clean ground source under the dash. Use the appropriate heat shrinkable ring terminal from the bubble pack to make this connection. This wire splices to the grounds shown in the diagram below. This harness includes a diagnostic link connector, service engine soon light and mounting bracket for both.
Page 43
Wiring the rear of your vehicle: This section of this harness includes wires for the rear lighting circuits, fuel tank sending unit, electric fuel pump, dome light, power antenna and amplifier. The diagrams below indicate both ways to connect the tail section of this harness. If your vehicle’s turn/brake lights are integrated you will follow the first diagram.
TESTING THE SYSTEM Use a small (10 amp or less) battery charger to power up the vehicle for the first time to test the circuits. If there is a problem anywhere, the battery charger's low amperage and internal circuit breaker will provide circuit protection. a.
