I laid my wiring harness back in the car last weekend and have a question about the brown and brown/white white that leaves the main wiring harness just after the firewall in the front trunk.
What does it terminate to? It continues down to the brake master cylinder pressure fail switch. I know what to do with it there - but what does it attach to up top? I am working on a early '72 model year. Thanks in advance! |

It's the right length, and wired to the correct wires... |

QUOTE I've seen brake fluid reservoir caps that had two terminals on them, maybe your harness was modified to take one of those. It's the right length, and wired to the correct wires... I have owned this car since 1978 - unmolested - I'm the second owner. This a factory wiring harness - no mods. Maybe the factory was going to use the fluid reservoir with a pressure switch cap (perfect length) buy chose not to later? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Odd to leave the wires there unterminated - slight potential for a ground. Wierd........ |

I looked at Abel's wrecked 73 and I dont see a break out...it may be under the tank, but I cant see it there. Cap was from a box of parts...so that wont be OEM... Rich |
