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 |

I think Porsche moved the fuel pumps on most of their cars to the front and I’ve read that it’s better for pumps to push fuel from the tank than suck it from a further distance. I’ve been in a bunch of 914’s that suffered from vapor lock. Some of my own and some with friends. Most recently in a ‘74 with a pump under the engine mount. It took a spray bottle filled with water and lots of breaks to get us home once the engine compartment was heat soaked. A couple near misses in traffic when we stalled out at the wrong time. He moved it to the front (stock 75/76 location) and never had a problem again.
Regardless, use stainless steel lines, fuel injection hose and the correct clamps for your fuel system. |
