long story short, the PO cannot wire cars so assume the worst

first is first, im assuming this blue wire is for the horn at the ignition



i also found this blue wire attached to the relay board under the kneeboard. guessing this goes to the ignition



it is attached to the relay board here, same spade connector as the only non corroded terminal



this disconnected wire goes to ground i assume?



and lastly, what is supposed to go to the pole #6 on this connector?

Jeff:

thanks for that hand drawn diagram - might be the clue i needed

i've been working on my wiring to rewire/mod a few things & fix the euro-park feature which had been reversed ever since the car came to USA,

and found a disconnected gray wire near the new JWest panel - it has an oem female spade on it & looks like it ought to belong to the fuse panel

- but i could not find it in my wiring chart - has no continuity to any other point that i could find so far - and does not have 12v on it anytime

(it's NOT the wire that feeds the trunk & license lights - i have a different gray one for that - and fixed it after 30 yrs)

i also find another cut-off gray wire & am looking for what that belongs to - same no continuity, no 12v
.

i just checked my harness and i found about 12 problems with it that would have left me stumped for days.

5 of the pins were in the wrong location (thanks PO) the buzzer wire seems to have been broken off (thanks PO) and now im only missing pin 1 which is not the end of the world i guess, or i can make it work and get my buzzer back

making a new harness and getting these electronics finished after my check hits! im so grateful.

I have to figure out where 2 more of the wires that were disconnected on my relay board go, but ill tackle that once this work is done!

Glad to help gents.

I am looking for the similar late 1971 version of this steering column that has the 14 pin connector if anyone has a decent one they can sell me. I would make similar diagram of that available as well.

I might in a little while. Once I finish taking apart my car for paint, I have a nos column to replace the old one. So give me a little time and I'll be able to contribute the old one to the cause.

Cool, let me know. I am no hurry.

jeff i have an entire chassis wiring harness and other wiring components from a later car, i believe it has the 14 pin. i also have a few other harnesses. when i get them together ill take pictures and send them your way

That's superb! Thank you. Just to be clear, the 14-pin connector I am talking about is at the steering column. 1970 through early 1971 cars have a 12 pin here, later 1971 have a 14 pin steering column connector.

yup, i dont know if i have the 14 pin from the steering column but at my friends house in maine i have the entire 14 pin chassis harness from a 73 i believe. as well as a bunch of other harnesses

The chassis harness of all 914s have a 14 pin connector at the relay board.

Only the late 1971 has a 14-pin connector at the steering column, which is the only one I am interested in. If this is the one you have, let me know!
