@@andrewwagner942 Hell yeah! You definitely got this!

Figure it out?

@@razorsazors no. I don't get much time to work on my stuff

I assume it has an original wiring harness in it. From some research I was doing, apparently there might be some fusible links down by the starter. I’m not sure where exactly it would be, but it might be worth peeking around in that area. And then it’s always a good idea to check all the grounds. On a 68 chevelle I worked on the dimmer switch would ground out on the floor of the car and blow the headlight fuse so maybe check to see if the dimmer on the floor is getting power or not. Short of those things you’re gonna have to patiently chase wires from the switch to the fuse block and from the block to headlights and check any and all grounds you come across.

@@HaydenClarkbbg i might just run my own new usable link for headlight switch... in an easily accessible place so I can check it easier... wiring is starting to get old and brittle in these squarebodys

@@workingmansrestorations7071 I have no dash lights. So driving in the dark everything's pitch black I haven't done any troubleshooting, other than knowing that pulling my light knob and twisting in any fashion only gets the floor(dome,courtesy?) lights to come on when twisted all the way, and headlights come on as normal. I'm gonna replace that part right off the back, as it's gritty as hell to twist and doesn't feel right. It's one of those problems that is a problem itself, and may host other problems. Anyways, the quare body forums are really good at giving you the circuity details so you can run around with a multimeter. Should be able to find where your short is on an hour. Only problem, if it's a fuse that went out, it very well could be because your wiring harness is rubbing somewhere

No I would get wax made for paint

That I gotta get my butt back in the garage and keep going on the Malibu. I have plenty to do and plenty of content to make of it. Also there is a new project that will make its way onto the scene but I won’t be going super deep into that car till the Malibu is running and driving. I’ve got plenty more to come. Thanks for watching!

It won’t be for sale anytime soon.

My truck has been owned by several people before i owned it. It’s very likely that the piece you’re referring to is missing from my truck.

It’s all stock, so with the intake, carb, and headers and I plan on putting on it, it might make 250??? It won’t be anything to right home about.

@@HaydenClarkbbg yeah I bet it's going to sound great though thanks for the reply

Glad you found it helpful! Good luck getting your car together!

All of the lights as in headlights, marker lights, dash lights and interior lights?

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!!

Well I think it was worth building a cheap small block before build the big block. I’ve already learned my first lesson! 😂😂

Yes it does run from left to right. It runs on the bottom side of the top portion of the core support. So as it’s runs across the front of the car you really can’t see it. Hope that helps!

Fucking beauty Thanks mate

Awesome! Glad the info was helpful for you!

Not sure yet. Haven’t had a motor in it yet to find out. The last video I put out of the car is it’s current condition. I’ve been putting the motor together for it and collecting parts.

@HaydenClarkbbg I have a 78 El Camino so I'm in the same debate as u are

So it sounds like you had a similar problem I did. I would check the headlight switch and make its wired the correct way for your park lights to come on. Or something could be wrong with the switch.

Could be the switch, but I'd check the grounds first. There's a ton of them on these, almost a ground for every light. Good luck!

I would check grounds at the light socket and also make sure power is getting from the switch the the light. Double check fuses. Easy place to start.

The brake lights have their own circuit that is run off the brake light switch that makes contact with the brake pedal.

Thank you! So on your headlights, it’s always good to start by checking the fuses. Then from there check to make sure there is power coming from the fuse block to the switch then drone the switch to the headlights themselves.

Is there anything specific you would want to see or just anything square body related.

I will be installing a Painless Performance Wire Harness. It will include the the headlight light harness as well. But if you need just the headlight light harness, they sell it seperately.

@@HaydenClarkbbg I called painless they don’t have it can you send me the part number.

@@ReelBonding333 are you doing stock headlights?

@@HaydenClarkbbg yes

I’m asking a lot of questions because I’m doing a frame off restoration and I find your videos inspiring and knowledgeable

Thanks buddy!

Hell yeah that’s awesome!! Thanks for the compliment and I’m glad it’s helping!

I haven’t updated about it because I don’t have all the parts yet. And I would like to build all in one go. Rather than here or there. But it’s done and ready to be assembled.

@@HaydenClarkbbg Cool.... I understand, I just noticed when you post about ur Malibu, I feel u get more hits on ur Channel.. I've been on mine for years, because I travel alot, & the guy who chopped & tucked the bumper's took like 2 & 1/2 years, because he only worked on it when his business slowed down, The guy that did the motor took 4 years, & now the guy doing the factory sun roof, has had my car for a year! So I have learned to be patient, because if you push people, the job comes out crappie! So that's what happens when you pick the best in there field just got too wait. If I ever do another car??? I'll do it way better... But that's why I enjoy ur Channel so much. Thank you, for the quick reply!

You bet! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. I have a lot more planned for the Malibu I just been working a lot lately. You can reach DM me on Instagram if you have that @Haydensbarebonesgarage.

That’s really cool! I do know the paper clip trick. That’s how I figured out the different codes it was throwing.

I’m currently working on the next video of the for the Malibu. It will be fixing rust and such in the roof.

Once you unhook the bottom seat cushion, there are to bolt at the base of the seat back. Take those out then lift the seat back up off of the hooks that hold it to the back panel of the car.

@@HaydenClarkbbg thanks I'm in Wisconsin

Anytime!
