    Harness ID
    « on: February 09, 2014 - 04:57:41 PM »
    After the unfortunate hacker-job of that garage that put a Painless harness into my car I'm finally getting around to fixing their work in the dash area. They gave me all old wires in one box and I'm now ID'ing parts of the old harness for possible re-use. I do have the service manual but am not sure I have the wires correct.

    I have a 70 Challenger RT/SE with AC. Click the images for larger versions. Thank you all!

    Part 1, could be the speed control harness?


    Part 2, headlights I'd say.


    Part 3, part of the taillight section? Note the cable clips were ripped from the body and are still on the cables. :P


    Part 4, no idea, the plug looks like it's newer?


    Part 5, tail light connector?


    Part 6, main engine compartment harness. Lots of old tape. :)

    Part I is for your overhead console, this wire runs from your drivers side kick panel along the door sill plate under the cargpet & back to the speaker shelf area. Smaller plug yellow & blue wire starts at the kick panel area. Pig tail single wires are for the door adjar switches. Overhead console upper wire harness plugs into the 3 way connector in the back by the speaker shelf. As for owner several Gran Coupes & SE's, I know those wires! :cooldancing:

    2 is definitely a headlight harness.
    3 looks like a taillight set up, but it's hard to say with everything cut off.
    4 the connector looks like it goes to a trailer, I can't recall seeing that on an eBody
    5 I think is the other end of 3....looks like someone cut them apart.  Probably because it was faster than pulling them back to the trunk.

    Oooh, very cool, thanks! My headliner is sagging down anyway so I should work on that part while I'm at it. Good to know that I have those wires around!

    Yes, 3 and 5 go together indeed, so that's the tail light section then. Great call on part 4—some previous owner mounted a trailer hook, probably straight to the fender. There was a switch where the map light switch was supposed to be, probably related to the trailer wiring. Now I remember, that part was connected to the tail light section and stuffed into/under the trunk lock.

    I have the original tail light harness for my 74 out in the garage, I'll try to remember to snap a picture of the complete harness so you know what it should look like.

    The piece that looks like a trailer hookup is the accessory plug-in under the dash.

    For example, if you had the glove box light - it would plug in here along with 2 others.

    As well, the cigarette lighter plugs into this too!

    Oh that is great, I am missing those cables and was wondering whether they were thrown out. Thanks, that made me real happy, now I can get the ash receiver light to work with the proper parts even, hooray! I got some white LED bulbs that I like to try. :ylsuper:

    (BTW fixed the link, that image can now also be clicked)
