Power in Run??


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Well I am working on some day time running lights and I need a source for power in run only?? the problem is that on my 1977 I can not find a place to tap just power in the run postion. So if anyone has a great idea please let me know.

 

Also one more item. I currently have the electrical torn apart so I can not just do a light test, if I could I would not be asking. Thanks

you are in luck. I am doing the wiring for my LS1 into my 77 Z. Where you want to splice it in at? On the passenger side foot well there are 2 plugs I believe 1 black and 1 white (Not sure until I get home today). All the power wires coming thru those 2 plugs. On the 77 Z there is no Ign 2 wire. Usually Ign 2 wire is for blower, lights etc. Ign1 is for fuel pump, injectors, ECU and coil .. etc. For running the lights I would suggest you to hook it thru the ACC. If you want you can hook it to the Ign 1 wire. OK enough of that. Here are the color of all the wires you are looking for:

Wht/Red = 12V input from Bat

Blu/Red = ACC

Blk/Yel = Starter

Blk/Wht = Ign 1

Blk/Blu = Hot during Cranking only - Same as the Blk/Yel above. I got no idea what this wire is used for.

 

What ever you do I would suggest you to hook up a relay and get the signal from one of the above wire. That way you won't put too much load on it. Good luck.
