96 to 94 z28 swap electrical difference help
Hi everyone recently a family member wrecked my 96 z28 so I bought a 94 z28 roller and swapped out engine, pcm, wiring harness, etc.. The problem i am having is the wiring differences, i know most of the wiring is the same but I know
there are a few exceptions harness c220 pin E, c230 pin G and i cant find anything on c100, c105
c220

Had a hard time following this at first....but, why didn't you just use your good engine from your 96 and put it in the 94 and use the 94 wiring? Would have been easier to do it that way than to swap every thing from the 96 to the 94.

pink wire is the same on pin G as c105's B everything else in c105 just crap (traction control and cruise control) there doesn't seem to b2 many differences but the things that r different seem to matter the wires i am most concerned with are C220 pin E on a 94 it is (Throttle Position Sensor Signal (EBTCM)) and on a 96 its (Power feed from PCM ignition Fuse #13). C230on a 94 pin G is (Power feed from PCM ignition Fuse #5) and on a 96 pin G is (Power feed from engine senor Fuse #10) everything else is the same, not used, or can be eliminated.
C105
1995-1997
Cavity Wire Color Description
A Orange/Black Traction control system spark retard
B Pink Power feed from Fuse #10
(injectors 1995/eng sensor 96-97)
C Tan/Black Traction control system throttle position
D Dk Green Cruise control signal-disengage (V6 VIN K only)
E Tan Serial data signal (VIN P and K)
F White Cruise control indicator lamp output (V6 VIN K only)
G Lt Blue Traction control active

take all the wiring out of your 96, install it into the 94 and be happy. There were differences in the way the car is wired in the trans, bcm, computer (94 has an ecu and trans comp the 96 has a PCM controls both) the instrument cluster is also different. It seriously would be easier to simply swap the entire harness intact rather than splice it.

So you are using the gauge cluster from the 94? The 94 didnt use the computer for all of the sensor inputs and the 96 cluster did. Your fuel, amp, and I believe oil will all be wired differently. You have a large can of worms and you really should have the wrecked car handy for this job.
Not only that the security system for the 94 was in 3 different modules in different locations of the car, the 96 only has one, the BCM. Your computer needs the go/nogo signal from the BCM in order to turn on the fuel pump for the engine to run. This is just one of the worms in your can.
