  1. Rear Courtesy lamp at the rear of the console is 6 candle power / 6 watts and the bulb number is 212.
  2. I'm assuming you're working on a first generation Monte Carlo so if that's the case, there should be two wires on the pump. A yellow wire which should have 12 volts at all times. The other one should be black. It supplies the ground for the system to work. So if you don't have the 12 volts on the yellow wire you need to check all the connections back to the fuse box looking for an open in the circuit. If you do have the 12 volts on the yellow wire.... 1. Turn the switch for the wipers on. 2. Using a jumper wire connect one end to a good known ground. 3. Probe the black wire on the pump with the other end. If the pump does not run suspect a bad pump coil. If the pump does run, check your connections on the black wire back the the center pin on the switch. If all connections are good suspect a faulty switch.
  3. Willie, In order for the coil to work you must deliver power to the positive side. In your first post you mention that you checked it and there was no power at either side. That is the first problem to solve. When you checked it was the key in the run position? If not turn the key to the run position and using a VOM or DVOM see if there is power and how much. The minimum would have to be 9 volts for the car to even try to start. If you want to test your coil before you change it here is a simple method explained. https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-test-a-spark-plug-ignition-coil-by-eduardo-ruelas
  4. Box 25 for my 1972 M/C Custom is labeled "Spec. Order" and it has an "S" in it. That's all. Just an "S".
  5. I got mine from a 1977 impala 4 door from the local Pull-A-Part. It was like new for $2.00. If you have a salvage yard near by there are usually several of these beasts in there. It fit perfect.
  6. One to Parking brake One to Headlight switch One to the back of the cluster This is from my assembly manual page 526 Inst. Pnl. Wiring Harn. "auto trans".
  7. If your fuse is good refer to the connector on the wiper motor with 3 wires going to it. Test 1: With the key in the "on" position, check for power at the center wire (circuit 93). If you have power there go on to test 2. If you have no power to the center wire, trace circuit 93 to the source looking for an open circuit. Test 2: With the key in the run position, connect a ground wire to the terminal to the right of the power wire on the motor(circuit 91). If the motor functions suspect a bad wiper switch or an open in the wiring between the switch and the motor. If the motor does not operate, insure the motor has a good ground to the body and repeat test 2. If the motor still doesn't function remove the motor for further testing.
  8. After looking at it I think this one is better; der Bremslichtschalter wird durch Blinkerschalter geführt tippen Sie in der Bremslichtschalter und führen Sie einen Draht zu den Heckleuchten und stoppen Sie die Kabel an den Blinkerschalter
  9. What Sam said; der Bruch Lichtschalter durch Blinkerschalter geführt tippen Sie in der Pause Lichtschalter und führen Sie einen Draht zu den Rückleuchten und stoppen Sie die Kabel an den Blinkerschalter. Maybe this will help.
  10. If you can use the lamps in your link for turn signals, the rewire to accomplish an amber turn signal will be easier. Are you sure they will be “legal” for turn signals?
  11. Is it OK to have both a red and amber? As long as one of them is amber... If not, there is a way you can do it but it will require splitting the tail lamp wiring and running additional wires from the turn signal switch harness to the rear for the turn signal. I’m assuming you’re planning to mount an additional amber lamp somewhere on the rear.
  12. .... Sorry. I think they should be recalled on all new cars too.
  13. 1. What is the amp draw of the vacuum pump? 2. If you hook the pump directly to the battery using a fuse on the positive wire, does the fuse blow? 3. Have you had this unit hooked up and working before? 4. Have you checked to see how much voltage you have on the wire coming from your fuse box? 5. If you put some other load IE: fan motor, head lamp, etc. on the wire coming from the fuse box, does the fuse blow. Do some testing and post your findings.
  14. As Scott said, switching to a battery that moves the positive terminal away from that sheet metal is a good idea. Even in a minor accident that positive terminal can come in contact with the body. That can cause an arc and start a fire under the hood which makes a small problem a big problem.
