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 |

If you have the time redo the harness yourself. I did my brothers 74 2.0 now a 3.0 6 conversion. The main harness remained the same with a few added wires for other gauges to be used. Took me about 4 weeks at about 4 to 5 hours every other day. You can order the correct color wiring so give it a try. I also kept the wiring under the pass seat but jumped out the large yellow wire. IIRC if you cut that out the e brake light will not work properly . Jeff B may know as I asked him when I did it. His advise was to keep it.
