I'm doing a chassis harness replacement on a '71 4 cyl car. Not exactly sure what happened but there was some melted wires to the headlight motors.
I found a good salvage harness, and in the process of doing the swap. I've found a discrepancy between the wiring for the headlight switch. The replacement harness does not have a gray wire that was in the original harness, and did not include the switch. The gray wire in the original harness goes to terminal #56 on the headlight switch and to terminal "K" for the headlight motors. Doing more tracing today, but part of the problem is melted wires. The factory manuals do not show a wiring schematic for all years, so I can't compare the two. Anyone know the differences? I know there are different harnesses for each year model, except '76. I think the headlight switch is the same for '70 and '71 Any thoughts on this? @JeffBowlsby @ClayPerrine @raynekat @Spoke @BDStone914 |
