1964 bonneville wiring diagram

Featured Replies

bit of a sos here , does anyone have a good copy of the 1964  Bonneville wiring diagram??

i have the 1963 chassis manual, but the wire colors are different! 

and i am trying to work out how my light switch is wired... some one in its past has looped off the feed out to the dip switch feed and wired it to the dash and tail light wires and its not correct.

This is from my 65 manual: it might help.

I replaced that very same switch in mine just recently. The old switch disintegrated in my hands. Crappy bloody Pontiacs. 55 years not good enough for a part to last? Pfft! Today's crap wouldn't last 55 days.

The wire colours are printed on the diagram - you'll just have to read them.

what i found was someone had taken a feed from the head light output from the light switch and joined it into the dash lights and tail lights, effectively bypassing half of the light switch..

terminal 5 is supposed to have power to it which when the light switch is pulled out giving a second circuit feeding the dash bulbs and tail lights, the way they had it all the current load was going through the head light circuit... and i did notice the switch was getting hot ! and you only had power to the dash and tail lights when you had the switch pulled right out on main head lights!!.

effectively i took a power feed from the fuse box and plugged it onto the number 5 terminal.... AND the chassis manual wiring diagram is wrong!  it shows no power feed to that side of the switch. yet i can go on mr google and it shows a gm switch having power to that side too !! 

basically a real brain teaser!!.

 but its now sorted and the switch isnt over heating :)
