I have a '80 Silverado Stepside Big 10 with a 350 4 bbl and TH350. It has duel tanks with mechanical pump. The tank valve is the type with one light green wire to it from the switch. Also coming from the switch is a red, pink with white stripe, blue, land dark green wire. The dark green wire goes to a connector that attaches to the side of the fuse block. It has other wires that go different place but nothing is plugged into this connector. My first question is what plugs into this connector? I think the red wire actually comes from the fuse block and runs down the passenger frame rail around back up the driver side rail the the switch. Is that correct? The blue wire goes to the driver side tank and the pink with white goes to the passenger side tank. Those are for sending units? At the switch, with it flipped down to the left tank position, with a test light i have power on the red wire with the key on run. The blue wire is hot at this time also. The gauge shows past full. When i switch the selector to the right tank, the gauge shows empty(which it is), and the red wire goes dead as well as the blue. Question 2 is shouldnt the red wire stay hot and the blue and pink with white alternate with the switch being flipped? Question 3 is shouldnt the light green going the valve get hot at some point to activate the valve? I changed the switch but it made no difference. Any help would be appreciated.
I tried to post a picture of the connector im talking about but its to many kb.
The wire diagram only downloaded to page 7 after trying a couple of times.
It seems it goes back to my first question. What might plug into the connector that the green wire goes to? There is a pink with black stripe wire from the fuse block, an orange wire from the fuse block, the dark green wire going to the tank switch and a black wire that im not sure where it goes. The pink, orange, and green form a u shape and the black is off to the side. Next to the black is an unused terminal. The pink with black stripe and orange are from different terminals on the fuse block but are both hot in run. It seems there is a relay or something that should bridge the pink or orange to the dark green.
Hopefully someone recognizes it.
