Hi guys just trying to do something new for the community here. I have used this connector to test and rebuild about 10 dashes from all makes and models of GM cars and it is very handy for figuring out how your dash works. It's the one that sits in the dash and plugs into the instrument panel (I/P).
Many I/P have the options already populated, even with bulbs in place. Example is my 1990 GMC truck. It was a 5.0L auto but had the Canadian daytime running light, shift light, diesel "wait" light, water in fuel light, and temperature light all populated and wired to this connector. Use this connector to find and unlock existing features in your dash.
List of just some of the uses when bench testing an I/P:
-finding out what voltage is needed to drive gauges
-testing indicator lights
-verifying bench installed sensors with the I/P
-simulate VSS input to speedo or pulse train for tachometer
-verifying I/P circuit board trace integrity
-much more!
All of the wires (34pin, 34wires) are installed, labeled with a number and have tinned ends. I'll also send you a spreadsheet with a picture of the connector and which wire it corresponds to. This is so you can modify it for your application (the spread sheet, not the harness).

Options:
You figure return shipping: $20 to rent, $4 for USA shipping. It will be sent in a reusable envelope. When done with it, just seal it up again, ship it back.
I'll figure return shipping: $20 to rent, $4 for USA shipping, $5 prepaid label. It will be sent in a reusable envelope with a prepaid label inside. When done, put the label over the other label, seal it up, drop it in your mailbox and raise the flag!
I'll refund your $20 as soon as I get it back. The price I think is high enough to keep people from keeping it and low enough allow access for the common man.
Let me know what you think!
