I'm going through my wiring harness with a fine tooth comb and I have a couple of questions.
In this picture: I. What are these four connectors for? I think they are for the center console. Is that right? II. Is this green wire for the parking brake switch? III. Are the brown wires for the door switches and the black for the internal light.  What is this for? I believe it mounts somewhere under one of the seats and is used to connect the harness wires to the door switches. Where does it mount? Which accessories are connected through it?  The plastic connector holder on my turn signal switch is very brittle. I don't suppose there are any aftermarket replacements?  Lastly, where can I purchase all new grommets for the wiring harness? Thanks. George |

Thank you Jim.
I have the original wiring harness from the car but it is pretty beat up. I think this harness is from a 1972 but I am hoping to use parts from the original to fix this one. I'd like to know if you think that is a really bad idea. I have a line on a used 1974 harness that I could use instead. Thanks. George |

Yes the relay boards are the same.
Jeff is correct it is best to use the harness that matches your car since you won't be surprised when things don't fit or work. It sounds like the 73 is workable. I did not take the advise of others or myself and I spliced the back half of a 75 harness into my 72. I also added a some wires to the harness for later use. Good Luck Jim |
