I have an early '74 model (production number 144). I have the warning light switch that triggers the emergency brake light when the handle is lifted but there is no wire in the channel by the seat to hook up the switch. I have no idea what light is supposed to come on in the dash somewhere. Can anyone let me know by a pic? Also a wiring diagram or helpful notes would be apprecited so I can tie into an existing wire, if I can find it.
thanks |

Will run on or in the horizontal rib that strengthens the floor. Probably glued under carpet padding if you don't see it. You should be seeing a red light on the fuel gauge. It is activated by the flasher relay. |
