I am in the (hopefully) last stages of assembling my ‘72 914 and I’m hoping to install a stereo.
There are two mystery wires coming out of the hole where the stereo would be, although they do not appear to be the negative and positive wires (although I didn’t check if they independently have power to them). Any idea what they might be? Backstory: I bought this 914 disassembled by a previous owner and I’m new to 914s, so it’s been a journey... Attached thumbnail(s) |

It isn't for a stereo because those are not built in to the harness. Stereos had a separate harness. The brown wire is a ground. My guess is it is for the fan controls. There should be a tab on the slider mechanism to connect to ground. Can't tell what color the other wire is.

Peel back that insulation a tad to reveal the color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
