Hello David,
I know this is an old post from when you had your wiring issues but I find myself exactly where you were trying to hunt down what I believe to be a grounding issue also with my 69 Camaro. I am wondering how you found those fractured wiring in your steering column. I have re-grounded everything I could find, like you did but I can't find the fault and I still get 10 volts at the rear light sockets, also dim dash lights, very slow windshield wiper action, and my gas gauge works but goes from 9 O'clock empty to 1/2 full reading when the tank is full. Short of pulling the whole dash and wiring harness out of the car I am looking for the main dash wiring harness ground. I found one ground wiring next to the e-brake mechanism and that is good and clean now, one wire ground under the dash next to the ash tray area and that's good clean and tight. The wiring diagram shows a harness ground with about 6-8 black wiring joining at one point but I can find that point,(maybe it's behind the fuse block?, any ideas where that is before I pull the whole darn thing to pieces.
I would greatly appreciate any help,
Thanks
Grant
