I would like to get the fog lights working on my 1976 914 and would appreciate any help from the community. Car had AC but that was removed before I got it. All other lights work fine and car runs well.
This is probably a simple job for most people but I struggle with wiring diagrams and I am color blind to a degree. Anyway, I have two rectangular fog lights in my bumper. The two wires for each fog light, one solid blue and one black/blue stripe, enter the luggage compartment through the front bulkhead. These are only a few inches long and not connected to anything. Which is power and which is ground? Next, the wiring harness has several unconnected wires. I am sure some of them went to the AC components (now gone) and this is where things get confusing. I have two single brown wires, one single white/yellow stripe wire, one dual white/yellow wire, one dual brown wire and one dual black/red stripe wire. Pic of the front left portion of the luggage compartment is attached. If I am reading the wiring diagram in my Haynes manual correctly, each of the single brown wires is "hot" and these are the ones I should use to power the lights. Is that right? Where do the ground wires from each light go? The Haynes manual says these are white/yellow wires. Should they ground to the body? Should they be connected to one another and then to the single white/yellow or to the dual white/yellow connector on the wire bundle? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you! |
