Rallye dash wiring diagram?
« on: October 11, 2011 - 11:01:19 PM »
I have a 73 rallye, and I have the wiring diagrams from mymopar.com, but I'd really like to have one color coded and detailed for the rallye dash.  Anyone know where to find one at?  I have wires underneath my dash that go nowhere (one is white, one is brown I think)...anyway, my gauges dont work and I'm just going thru the wiring getting it buttoned up.  Thanks

Those wiring diagrams indicate the wire color for each run/wire connection on them. 
Don't think I've seen an actual color wiring diagram.  Factory didn't do it that way.

Yeah thats what I meant....I reckon I can use those and track those wires down...I was just wondering if there was one out there that just dealt with the dash/steering column

Post a picture or two of the wires in question.  I just got done redoing the dash assembly on my 73.  I've got some "before" pictures that might help you figure it out.

Here are a couple "after" pictures that may help you as well.

heres some pics of what I have coming under my dash...talk about a hacked wiring job. Sorry that they're hard to see, but the white one is wrapped around the steering column, the rest are just coming from under the dash

Does the car have factory A/C?  There is a wire in one of your pictures that has a rubber grommet on it.  That is the tach wire...it goes to the - side of the coil.  This is where it comes through the firewall...

yes it came with factory A/C but I did not put the a/c unit back on the car.  But still has all the vents and buttons and such.  and okay that helps!!!

Best money you can spend if you're wiring your car back to stock....

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I don't recognise the large red connector or the plastic piece it plugs into.  Since my car doesn't have A/C, I'm guessing those to things are A/C related.  I can post a picture of all the connections to the gauge cluster but that's about it.  My car didn't have all those tan wires either.
