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 |

OP has a 1975 914/4 car. A 914/6 chassis harness is not interchangeable with any 914/4. Dash switches/guages relay board connections and more are not compatible. The only 914/4 harness apparently available is from Michael Sanger, but his site is not clear as to which 914/4 model year it is correct for. And I know of no one that has one.

I can say from experience that finding a good used harness for the right model year is like searching for a unicorn. It is a lot easier to say to buy a used one than actually buying one. But I did have luck with people donating chunks of harness to provide patches of color correct wire. |
