1988 GMC Jimmy s15 radio wiring/ no dash illumination

Wired the radio in and dash lights didnt work. Somebody else had been fooling with the wiring and had the orange wire from the 2 wire connector going to the gray wire on the 3 wire connector. When I corrected this the dash lights quit working. On the aftermarket wiring harness there is an illumination wire, (from the 2 wire connector) and a dimmer wire (from the 3 wire connector). Seems like these ought to be the same thing. Should I have to tie these wires together to get my dash to iluminate or do I have some other internal wiring issue in the car somewhere?

SOURCE: WIRING HARNESS FOR 2001 GMC JIMMY

Unfortuantely, there is not a plug in wiring harness for this vehicle. You will have to splice in a 4-Flat Plug. No converter box is needed since it's a standard 2-wire system. You can view this part if you click here.

White - Ground
Yellow - Left Turn
Green - Right Turn
Brown - Running Lights

Now, this is only to wire you to a 4-flat. If you need a bigger plug like a 6-way or 7-way, there are adapters. You can view these if you click here.

If you are going to install a brake controller also, you will need another wiring kit that includes a circuit breaker and wire. You can view this here.

Hope this helps!

SOURCE: 7 wire harness going to blower motor resistor

There is an updated resistor/connector package. Very expensive from GM, try your local NAPA or other parts supplier for a replacement

SOURCE: I HAVE A 93 S15 JIMMY 4X4. NO POWER TO 4X4 SWITCH

Try pulling the 5 amp fuse on the fuse box under the drivers side of dash that says tccm (transfer case control module) for 2 1/2 minutes, replace the fuse after 2 1/2 minutes then cycle the switch on and off without starting the engine 5 times. This resets the module.

SOURCE: 92 GMC Jimmy Replaced fuel pressure and fuel

if you say you replaced the fuel pressure ? "regulator or pump" that was not very clear as to which so i am guessing and the filter but have no fuel to the fuel bar valve either you have no power to the pump or a clogged fuel line or a blown fuse or a short in the power suppluy to the fuel pump if you turn the key to on position without cranking it do you hear a slight humming noise if so the fuel pump is working ..if you do now hear this chances are as i stated above
the use of a test light is required to check for power to the pump as wel do you smell any gas =fuel lines are rotted .let ne know what you discover and check all your fuses

Instrument panel light malfunctioning.

I have a buddy with a Jimmy and his lights did something similar, but once the dash illumination quit, nothing would make them come back on. We ended up replacing the entire light switch assembly, and it fixed it. We assume the dash illumination dimmer switch was shorted out. You may try getting a can of contact cleaner and taking the switch out and spraying all electrical connections related to your lighting to clean them up, THEN look into a new switch if that doesnt help. Hope this helped!!
