Still going thru wiring and now notice that there are 4 large gage brown wires extending from what seems to be the OEM harness into the engine bay on pass side that were connected to the + batt terminal. These 4 brown wires do not enter the center tunnel, so where do thy go and why brown wires to a + terminal ????
I've never had the car running or electrically powered up, but that's the way it was wired when i got it. I don't like the idea of cutting into the harness protective cover to try tracing these wires. The wire for the oil temp x-ducer in the taco can comes out of this same harness. The car is a 76, if that helps. Anyone got some ideas ??  |

Why do you need 'ideas' from the mob? Have you looked at the wiring schematic?
The 1975-76 schematic shows four red wires. Two go to the relay board. One goes to the fuse panel. One goes to the headlight switch. |
