Is this wiring block toast? (Page 1/1)

Between the air conditioner collector and the master cylinder.


Only electrical issues I'm noticing are with the headlight motor in the other thread. Is this like way bad or just a little bad?

I found the page in the fiero Service Manual that explains what each section is, but is this a replace the whole harness on the C100 block?


Page 8A 202-d of the 87 fiero service manual.

I'm not even aware of what mine looks like... but what is it about yours that concerns you? The black goop? If so, it's supposed to be there!

Yes, the black goop. I see the pristine look of the wiring block above and the block below that looks like the top block crapped on it, and I'm thinking it's toast. I saw nothing in the manual anywhere about "goop" or sealant or anything on the wires so I'm thinking it's a problem like corrosion, or burnt wiring.

It's there to prevent corrosion.

Thank you for the clarity.

I’m new at all of this…….”modern car” stuff. Last thing I ever turned a wrench on by myself was a 64 Ford truck and that was 30 years ago..

As the proud owner of a now 35 year old car, you'll eventually become (out of necessity) a master mechanic... with the fine assistance of this forum.

Looks to be in very good condition, in fact.
