Hello all,
I have an 84 camaro which has been engine swapped with a 350 motor, unsure of the year. I am currently having a few electical issues where some components work while others do not. I dont know if the non working components are all somehow connected and there is a loose or disconnected wire or a blown fuse somewhere. Currently what isnt working is; The electric trunk release in center console, the aftermarket radio, the horn, and there is an aftermarket switch for an elecrtrix fuel pump (also wired in the cabin) that isnt recieving power. My main concern and priority is this switch as without it functioning the engine recieves no gas. Now, what is currently working, interior lights, headlights, dash gague cluster, electric windows, aftermarket rev counter, and an aftermarket switch for exhaust cutouts. I have checked lots of the wiring but am unsure how to proceed.

I have attached two images, the blue wire on the switch follows back through the car to the gas tank and pump. The red wire connects into the fuse box, it is the large red wire on the right side in the second image. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it, thanks.

What is the 8th digit of the VIN?

 

Eighth is H, However the engine has been swapped for a 350. I believe this year only offered the 305 in models. Im not exactly sure what year the engine is. Im pretty sure it was just the engine block was swapped so everything else should be the same.

 

Obviously I have no way to know how the aftermarket Equipment was wired...
However, much of what you described should be powered by the 20A Acc Fuse in the Fuse-Panel that you Posted an Image of.

Have you inspected the Fuses in the Fuse-Panel?

Let me know, and I will go to the next step if needed.

 

do you know which fuse that is?


looking at the fuse box, one of the metal ones is labeled Pwr Acc. Is this the fuse? It is 30A, and im not sure how to tell if it has blown or not.

 

No, that is a Circuit-Braker, and not a Fuse.
That is not what you are looking for.

I am going to look for an image for you.
BRB.

 

i found the blown fuse. I think the label wore off but I found an image showing that as the acc fuse. It had a 25A fuse in it so ill probably replace it as such.

 

Different year Camaros have different Fuse-Panels... and different Engines also use different Fuse-Panels.

I do not have an image of your exact Fuse-Panel to show you.
The image you posted is upside-down and the lettering is not very clear.

You are looking for a Yellow 20A Fuse that has the word: "ACC" next to it on the black Fuse-Panel.

The Red Circle in the image below is an example of what you are looking for:

 

Well that is hopefully good news.


Just so you know; anytime you have an issue with an Electrical Device...
It is a good idea to start with looking at the Fuses, Circuit-Breakers, and Fusible-Links first.

 

yeah. Thanks for the help I swear I had checked every fuse but I guess i missed that one.
