Electrical Systems: Remove and Replace Gauge Pod or Replace Idiot Lamps with Gauges

Electrical Systems

Written By: Jim Isbell (JimIsbell)
Remove and Replace the Gauge pod or replace Idiot lights with Gages in a Fifth Generation El Camino. (may apply to others as well) I will only go into the mechanical process of removing and replacing the pod as several other people have covered the need for the required circuits and senders and gages. Follow these steps in this exact order, you cannot change the order and expect it to work:

HAGAR

BY SHEILA HAGAR

I used to drive an El Camino and I'm not even sure it's a car.''
Those words come from a song by Scott Krippayne, ``I'm Not Cool,'' and the minute I heard them on my way to work, I knew this would be the day.

It's El Camino Day.

I've been dinking around with this topic for quite some time, beginning about two hours after the man in my house traded that pretty-boy, useless TransAm for a Caballero.

A Caballero, for those who've never had to think about it, is the GMC version of the Chevrolet El Camino.

And just what is an El Camino? An informal workplace poll revealed many wonder exactly that.

Recharging Your Car's Air Conditioner with Refrigerant

What's the difference between a "top-off" and an "evacuation and recharge"? Why

My technician told me that EPA regulations prohibit topping-off

My technician told me he could not locate the leak in my system

What about Using my own Parts?
