I see a low coolant switching module in the wiring diagram but haven't been able to find it. Anyone know where I should look?
Thanks for any help. I'm working on a 1977 Royale.

Hal, it is never in the same place twice in my experience. It is poorly
marked. Most of the time it just dangles from the harness somewhere in the
vicinity of the back of the warning light cluster. Most of them are non
functioning. Probably best to trace wire color from the sending unit, and
hope that it does not change color somewhere along the way. JWIWD. How is
the Diesel conversion coming?

Thanks Jim, not knowing what it looks like makes finding it harder to locate. I'll find it though, it must be there.
The swap is coming along, a little slower than I'd hoped, but there always seems to be 'project creep' involved. I'm trying to integrate the wiring systems now along with a new Mac dash. I've grafted in the fuse box from the donor Chevy diesel pickup and am adding another 7 circuit aftermarket fuse panel. There were a lot of wires to cull out of the dash, almost 40 years of add on's worth. The dash structure is a mess too and will need to be addressed yet. The fuel tank, lines and filters are all in which ended up being more of a job than expected. I ended up running new 2" hard fill pipe to the tank, running it outside the frame and keeping the fill in the original location. There just wasn't room for the neck and door behind the refer. I hope to power it on it's own within two weeks. I'll wait a little to finish the inter cooler plumbing as it will need a new intake manifold which is going to take a while. Wish I had learned to do casting work, the manifold would be the perfect candidate for casting.
Wish me luck.
Hal
