Sunday, May 16, 2010 2:14 PM
hey..its been a while since i've been on here. i have my 3400 cavalier running perfectly now and everything is done. now the last problem i am having is getting all the headlights and exterior lights working( + signals) with the cavalier multifunction switch instead of the gam switch.i've spent several hours at this so far and can get only my headlights and one park lamp(left side)..havent really tackled the rear yet...if anyone has any tips on how to wire the grand am 3400 harness to the cavalier switch that would be great..thanks

I don't understand. The light harness is seperate from the engine harness. It should still work. Maybe you've got a couple power wires from the C100 not hooked up.





i find it amusing that SHOoff has nothing better to do but follow me around & be an unhelpful dick in even cross-forum. - Jon Mick

Headlights are negative switched, everything else is positive switched. You'll have 2 common wires for positive in the headlights, I wanna say orange on one side and blue on the other, make sure you have power to them.




Your car may do 13 sec @ 103 mph, but my car does 146db @ 35 hz.

the whole car is gam wired ? i think i may have figured out how to wire in the cav switch after studying the diagrams for a bit. but i have not tried it yet , haven't had the chance. too busy at work all week..lol.. i'm gonna go out and try it in a few mins..my biggest concern is the signal lights though. i have the headlights tails and brakes all figured out, i'll post when i try it again a little later.
