I'm getting ready to put gauges in Ruby.

Where are the Center Console Wiring Harness connections? I have the diagram.



Are these them?

Not enough wires and they don't match up.

TIA,

GN

Jeff -

PERFECT! The sketches of the connectors explain it all!

The diagram at top implies 3 black connectors - 3 brown, etc. - not one. Repeat.

So simple - got it now! Piece of cake!

Thanks so much!

Top drawing misleads because it even says that each yellow rectangle is each a 6mm female spade terminal.........I have over 50 years of believing electrical drawings to mean what they say!

But now I see only the 5 at the bottom refer to what is on the floor........my bad.....

I can easily make my own harness......

What harness? The black plastic connecor housing under the passenger seat?

Yes. It's not hooked to anything, and it was sitting on top of the center tunnel.
I don't remember seeing it before, and my early car doesn't have one.

Thanks

That's the seat belt interlock relay housing. It would have 2 relays attached to that housing.
Looks like it's been jumped already. See the larger yellow/red wire that's been spliced together. That's the fix. I would take a look at splice job. Most of the time they are just butt connected together. I would clean that up and solder those wires together. Rest just tape up and leave under the seat. I jumped out my brother's 74 but left everything in the factory location.
