OK, what's a V20? You said you have had a problem. What fixed it before? Or did it get worse? Was it raining? Or damp conditions? What about the plug going thru the firewall? How about brake lights? Flashers? |

How about brake lights? Flashers? 1988 Old Body trucks went from being C/K's to R/V's. V-20 would be a 4WD 3/4 Ton. R/V trucks go from 1988 to 1991. Charles |

I have had a problem with my 87 V20 4x4 not starting. I have replaced the battery, starter and ignition switch and it still won't start. What am I overlooking? I didn't see any fuses in the fuse block that looked like they were involved in starting. There is voltage to the headlights but not to the dash when turning the key. I would stop trying if I didn't love this old truck so much. Thanks in advance. Jake |

Got it!! The fusible links were fine. Frustrated, I disconnected the wires from the starter and pulled them out of the harness all the way back to the fuseblock. The wire that feeds voltage to the fuseblock had corroded so badly that it broke off. So, no starter signal, no fuel pump, no fan, no radio. Thanks everyone.

Well, it's not running just yet. After a couple days looking I found the correct terminal end that would seat into that monster plug. Now, I'm trying to clean all the light green powder from that location on the fuse block where that plug connects. I called around about a new fuse block but, the dealership doesn't have any info before 1992 and the salvage yards I've been to don't have the years that would work. I'm hoping that the block is something that I can take apart and replace that terminal socket for a better connection. 69SScamaro wrote: They do corrode behind there pretty bad. So it's running now ?
