My car has never had heat in the time that I've owned it. The car is a 1971 but the engine and wiring in the bay are all for 1973.
I took the time to completely refurb an early blower fan. It has two wires: one brown, one green. According to the wiring diagram I'm supposed to have wires directly from the harness to power it. I don't. Where am I supposed to tap for power? Also, on the relay board I have a mystery green wire coming from astern. I have no idea what it's for. Any guesses? See photos for clarity. Thanks, Marcus |

BTW nice engine bay. The circle is the harness that should have a green wire for your heater blower power. then there should be a brown wire that goes to ground. looks like someone turned your green wire back into the connector for some reason. I've never seen that before. You can get a used harness or a new one from Jeff Bowlsby as I think all the ignition harnesses were the same throughout the years.

Thanks for the responses. As it is I have new Bowlsby ignition, alternator, and injection harnesses.
The green jumper in the circle looks very much other '73 relay board connectors I've seen in real life and on this forum. I wonder if I can just splice into it. -marcus |
