electriclal problems
I am having problems with the wiring on the 79 I recently bought. A light stays on under the driver dash with the ing. cut off. The lights only work on high beam ect. I have a Helm's manual from my 78. Would the wiring be close? I don't want to buy another $100.00 dollar manual unless i have to. There are other problems in the wiring in the car, and I am certainly not good at this sort of thing. I thought I had checked the car out better than I did. Any advise would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. :conehead

Re: electriclal problems (A78Corvette)
The 78 manual will be fine to work with. The wiring on a 78 and 79 is just about identical.
As for no low beam headlights, check the bulbs before anything else. Seen a lot of time where both bulbs where burned out at the same time.

Re: electriclal problems (A78Corvette)
Just had one in my shop with same problem, interior lights stay on. Just above the glove box is a timing module to delay interior lamps from shutting off after doors are closed for about 20 seconds. This module fails, your interior lamps stay on. Its still available from GM.
