Need a little wiring help for transplanting a 77 steering column into my 71
So I need a little wiring help with the 77 steering column that I have going into my 71 coupe.
I’ve traced all of the wiring on the steering column connector and verified that it matches up to the 71 connector except for 1 connection. This is where I need some help.
On the 71 connector, this connection goes to the Horn Relay.
On the 77 wiring diagram that I have, this connection goes to the “Seat Belt and Key Buzzer”. However, in the attached 77 diagram, the schematic just dead ends and doesn’t show me where it really goes.
Is it OK to leave it wired up this way?
Or do I need to disconnect this?
Is there a chance of fire?
Does anyone have a better schematic for the 77 that shows where this connection really goes?
Here are the details of what I am looking at and the links to the entire schematic for both the 71 and 77 that I have. Yes the 77 is upside down from the 71 in the schematics.
Thanks for the help and advice.
