I just removed the wiring harness from my '75. I am not sure what the PO did or what happened but there are a lot of shorts with melted and exposed wiring. The seat wiring is melted into a large uniform mess.
I hate any form of lock out with seat belts. Can I remove the wiring and sensors or is there any reason I should restore the wiring under the seats and then make the modification to delete the lock out and fasten seat belt signals? I can't imagine a future owner thinking they would want to have the wiring available to connect a starter lock out to the seat belts. Thanks, DaveB |

I think your PO worked on my 914 cause it looks (the wiring that is) a lot like the wiring in my car. My suggestion would b "delete" not only the seat sensor wiring (which i did many many years ago to my first 914 with no issues). But i would also scrap the whole harness. Which is what i did to my current 914 wiring harness. I bought an aftermarket harness from summit racing. Most teeners will scoff at my suggestion cause I am ruining the "originality" of the vehicle. But iam both an iconoclast and my car is a true outlaw i.e. LS powered, Mendola transaxle, etc.
