1975 Wiring Harness repair - fix or delete seat sensor wiring Options

[DaveB]

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

@JeffBowlsby
was there a formal campaign to fix the interlock system? Code?
Is there a list of items for the fix?
Just wonder because the Current flow diagram in the Technical manual does not show the second relay, and the wiring connections are so different. However, it seems to me that a recall could have meant adding the second relay, and rerouting some of the wires as well as bridging the yellow power wires. I see one wire coming from a sleeved bundle to the seatbelts that is brown with a .110 terminal on it and a second wire heading up to the interior light. This terminal looks like it should go to terminal 31, but a short ground wire to a tab below the sockets is fitted there, and there is no other place I can see where this loose terminal should go. It is in three or 4 harnesses I am looking at.
