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)

I wonder if the brown wire with white tracer is for the seat belt warning light.

QUOTE(lierofox @ Aug 17 2020, 12:07 PM)  I wonder if the brown wire with white tracer is for the seat belt warning light. I don't have a schematic handy but that would make sense. Brown with white tracer means a switched ground. |
