4c— Circuitry - Voltage Regulator Assemblies (Corvette)

Engine compartment wiring harness incorporates sev-

eral fusible links. Each link is identified with its gage

size. A fusible link is a length of special wire (normally

four wire gages smaller than the circuit it is protecting)

used in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such

as the ignition circuit. The same size wire with a hypalon

insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link.

The links are:

1.
The pigtail lead at the battery positive cable (except

Corvette) is a 14 gage, brown fusible link protecting

the 10 gage battery charging circuit. This wire is an

integral part of the battery cable assembly and serv-

icing requires replacing the complete battery cable

assembly. On Corvette models this link is installed

as a molded splice at the solenoid "Bat" terminal

and servicing requires splicing in a new link.

2.
A 16 gage black fusible link is located at the horn
4.
relay to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gage or

larger. It is installed as a molded splice and serv-

icing requires splicing in a new link.

The generator warning light and field circuitry (16

gage wire) is protected by a fusible link (20 gage

orange wire) used in the "battery feed to voltage

regulator #3 terminal" wire. The link is installed as

a molded splice in the generator and forward lamp

harness and is serviced by splicing in a new 20 gage

wire as required.

The ammeter circuit on all models is protected by

two orange, 20 gage wire fusible links installed as

molded splices in the circuit at the junction block or

the solenoid "Bat" terminal (Corvette only) and at

the horn relay. Each link is serviced by splicing in a

new 20 gage wire as required.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

At regular intervals, inspect the terminals for cor-

rosion an4 loose connections, and the wiring for frayed

insulation. Check mounting bolts for tightness. Check the

drive belt for alignment, proper tension and wear. Be-

cause of the higher inertia and load capacity of the rotor

used in A.C. generators, PROPER BELT TENSION is

more critical than on D.C. generators.

Since the Delcotron and its companion regulator are

designed for use on negative polarity systems only, the

following precautions must be observed. Failure to ob-

serve these precautions may result in serious damage to

the charging system.

1.
When installing a battery, always make absolutely

sure the ground polarity of the battery, generator and

regulator is the same.

2.
When connecting a booster battery, make certain to

connect the correct battery terminals together.

3.
When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the

correct charger leads to the battery
%
terminals.

4.
Never operate the generator on an uncontrolled open

1 - Fuse Panel Assembly

All power window and tailgate circuits require the igni-

tion switch to be "ON" to open or close the windows un-

like past model designs which were operated independ-

ently of the ignition switch.

The windshield wiper and washer switch is new in that

washer button in the center of the knob has been deleted
and its function will be accomplished by pushing the knob.

A set screw is used to retain the knob to the shaft.

In addition to fuses, the wiring harness incorporates

fusible links to protect the wiring. Links are used rather

than a fuse in wiring circuits that are not normally fused,

such as the ignition circuit. Fusible links in the Chevro-

let wiring are four gauge sizes smaller than the cable it

is designed to protect. The links are marked on the

insulation with wire gauge size because of the heavy insu-

lation which makes the link appear a heavier gauge than it

actually is.

Engine compartment wiring harness incorporate sev-

eral fusible links. Each link is identified with its gauge

size.
A fusible link is a length of special wire (normally

four wire gauges smaller than the circuit it is protecting)

used in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such

as the ignition circuit. The same size wire with a spe-

cial hypalon insulation must be used when replacing a

fusible link.

The links are:

1.
The pigtail lead at the battery positive cable (except

Corvette) is a 14 gauge, brown fusible link protecting

the 10 gange battery charging circuit. This wire is

an integral part of the battery cable assembly and

servicing requires replacing the complete battery

cable assembly. On Corvette models this link is

installed as a molded splice at the solenoid "Bat"

terminal and servicing requires splicing in a new

link.

2.
A 16 gauge black fusible link is located at horn relay

to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gauge or larger.

It is a serviceable piece with an in-line connector

and is not integral with the wiring harness.

3.
The generator warning light and field circuitry (16

gauge wire) is protected by a fusible link (20 gauge

orange wire) used in the "battery feed to voltage

regulator #3 terminal" wire. The link is installed

as a molded splice in the generator and forward lamp

harness and is serviced by splicing in a new 20 gauge

wire as required.

4.
The ammeter circuit on all models is protected by

two orange, 20 gauge wire fusible links installed as

molded splices in the circuit at the junction block or

the solenoid "Bat" terminal (Corvette only) and at the

horn relay. Each link is serviced by splicing in a

new 20 gauge wire as required.

The wiring harnesses use a standarized. color code

common to all Chevrolet vehicles. Under the color code,

the color of the wire designates a particular circuit. The

harness title indicates the type of harness, single of mul-

tiple wire, and also describe the location of the harness.

The body harness is a flat, solid wire assembly and is

routed through the vehicle near the center of the body.

Composite wiring diagrams (figs. 104 thru 124) are in-

cluded at the end of this section.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Maintenance of the lighting units and wiring system

consists of an occasional check to see that all wiring

connections are tight and clean, that the lighting units are

tightly mounted to provide good ground and that the head-

lamps are properly adjusted. Loose or corroded con-

nections may cause a discharged battery, difficult start-

ing, dim lights, and possible damage to generator and

regulator. Wire harnesses must be replaced if insulation

becomes burned, cracked, or deteriorated. Whenever it
is necessary to splice a wire or repair one that is bro-

ken, always use solder to bond the splice. Always use

rosin flux solder on electrical connections. Use insulat-

ing tape to cover all splices or bare wires.

When replacing wires, it is important that the correct

size be used. Never replace a wire with one of a smaller

size.

Each harness and wire must be held securely in place

by clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing or

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard instrument cluster on all models contains

seven circular housings consisting of: a speedometer;

fuel gauge; oil pressure, generator and temperature indi-

cators; right and left directional signal indicators; brake

warning and high beam indicators; and includes a clock

on deluxe models. An optionally available instrument

cluster provides special instrumentation which includes

in addition to the speedometer and clock: a tachometer;

fuel, oil pressure, ammeter and engine temperature

gauges; which replace the standard fuel gauge and indi-

cator lights. The brake warning indicator is relocated

to the tachometer dial face and the high beam and direc-

tional indicators are positioned in the speedometer dial

face.

Instrument cluster removal is recommended before at-

tempting to service the printed circuit and gauges even

though some units may be accessible from behind the

cluster. Limited working space under the instrument

panel increases the possibility of electrical malfunctions

due to poor connections, and damaged or improperly in-

stalled printed circuit. The printed circuit is service-

able but not repairable and requires complete
replacement.

The brake warning light serves a dual purpose. It

functions as an indicator when the parking brake is ap-

plied and also warns if a malfunction (loss of hydraulic

pressure) should occur in the brake system. The two

separate switches, which provide the signal to operate the

indicator, are located at the parking brake support and in

the hydraulic brake line at the master cylinder. Service

of the brake pressure, differential switch unit at the

master cylinder is described in Section 5 of this manual.

All indicator and cluster illumihating lamps may be

replaced without removing the cluster from the vehicle.

The bulbs are installed in plastic holders which lock into

the cluster housing and make contact with the printed

circuit. An instrument lamp is used to illuminate the

ignition switch. A special fibre optic lucite wiring

transmits light from the lamp to the switch.

Regular maintenance is not required on the instrument

cluster or its components other than maintaining clean,

tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts and

keeping the speedometer cable properly lubricated.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard Camaro instrument cluster assembly con-

sists
of two
circular units which house
the
speedometer

and fuel gauge assemblies.
The oil
pressure, left-hand

directional
and
brake warning indicators
are
located
in

the face
of the
speedometer bezel while generator,
tem-

perature
and
right-hand directional indicators are grouped

with
the
fuel gauge unit.
The
high beam indicator
is

located between
the
cluster bezels.

A special instrumentation package
is
available with
the

eight-cylinder engine
and
center floor console combina-

tion.
The
special cluster includes:
a
clock; coolant

temperature,
oil
pressure, fuel
and
ammeter gauges,

mounted forward
on the
seat separator console;
a ta-

chometer
in the
right circular housing
of the
dash
in-

strument cluster; and
a low
fuel level indicator replacing

the
oil
pressure indicator lamp
in the
instrument cluster.

The instruments
and
gauges,
may be
serviced only

after
the
instrument cluster
is
removed from
the
vehicle.

Indicator
and
cluster lamps except
for the
high beam

indicator
may be
replaced without removing
the
cluster

assembly. Partial cluster removal
is
necessary when

replacing
the
high beam indicator due
to its
proximity
to
the upper brace
rod
anchor plate.
The
bulbs
are in-

stalled
in
plastic sockets which lock into
the
cluster

housing and make contact with
the
printed circuit.

A
low
level fuel warning system
is a
special feature

available with
the
floor console gauge pack. This
sys-

tem includes
an
indicator lamp
in the
dash cluster and
a

semi-conductor unit senses
the
change
in
electrical
re-

sistance
of the
fuel system circuitry
as
variations
in

fuel level occur.
The
sensing device
is
replaced
as a

unit
if
found defective.

The brake warning light serves
a
dual purpose.
It

functions
as an
indicator when
the
parking brake
is ap-

plied
and
also
if
there
is a
malfunction (loss
of
hydraulic

pressure)
in the
brake system. Switches which provide

the signal
to
operate
the
light
are
located
at the
parking

brake assembly
and at the
brake master cylinder
in the

hydraulic lines. Service
of the
brake pressure differ-

ential switch unit
is
covered
in
Section
5 of
this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on
the
instrument

cluster
or its
components other than maintaining clean,

tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer properly lubricated.
