My car is a 72, but I was told it might have been first sold in Canada. It has a Feb 1972 build date.
I was looking at the Haynes Manual and "Fig 9.68 wiring diagram up to 1971, USA" shows the connections I have: red wires on the back, brown on the front. However, when I connect them, they blow the fuse. They also blow the fuse when they are connected red in front, brown in back. It seems to matter which wires are connected to which terminal. Any ideas on how to find this out? I got more fuses, but I hate to just keep trying and blowing fuses. I'm pretty sure the door switches are the cause because when they are disconnected I can put a fuse in and nothing happens. I thought I might try to see which wires are connected at either end with a continuity test and thought this might tell me which wires go where. Thoughts? I would appreciate any ideas for figuring this out. |
