914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Unneccessary wiring under the seat

Posted by: wbergtho Feb 26 2006, 07:02 PM

I have a heavily modified V-8 car and I've got the seats out and the gay wiring that controls the seat belts under the passenger side seat. I've already spliced the primary ignition/starter wire (big yellow wire) and removed it from this area. my question is, what do I need to know before i cut the rest of this worthless rat's nest out? Is there anything else in there that I should concern myself with?

Thanks,

Bill

My wires are funky, too.

I want them gone.
I'm worried that if I take them out, the car won't start

Ah, a 74.
That big yellow bitch is the important one.
That needs to be spliced togeter.
The rest are mostly BS AIR. Hand brake lite,
interior lites, door open lites, interlock shittage,
rear defogger. The Haynes Manual wiring diagram shows them all....JIC my memory is shot....a distinct posibility.

I put a 50 Amp toggle switch in that yellow sucker. Car no start
in the off position.

Hey Mr. Stein,

Thanks for your input. I took the big yellow (important bitch wire) and spliced it 2-3 years ago. I just wanted to re-afirm that I'm not going to cut something I need before proceeding. I don't need all that other shittage. Thanks again

Bill

The interior light wiring between the light and the door jamb switches go through the box.

There is also another black wire that comes from the fuse box ignition fuse. If you let it ground out the car will stop running.

There's also a couple of brown ground wires that should be spliced.

I removed all of that junk from my 75. Spliced the big yellow ignition wire of course and just cut all the rest out and taped off the ends before tucking them in the tunnel. But the gauges in my center console were dead until I spliced the two brown-only wires.

why do you have 2 harness eyebolts?

I just stripped that crap out of mine this weekend.

The FAT yellow gets spliced back to the FAT Yellow/Red stripe.

The seat belt and seat sensor wiring can be cut off.

The dome light goes through there (wire can be shortened).

A secondary contact on the door switches is wired into that logic relay (wire can be eliminated).

I think there are a couple wires that lead directly to the ignition switch that can be removed as well.

Just follow the wiring diagram and you should be OK.

After you do this, the seatbelt warning light won't work anymore.

Thank God.

If I wasn't afraid of the wrath of the wife, I would disable all the seatbelt warning buzzers and lights in every car in the family!

...so is the 50 amp toggle a better idea for a hidden kill switch than putting an interrupter in the battery cable?

hey if you're not using this after you remove it...could you possibly send it to me?
