wiring question
Back again,
I have the center console and brake console out while reparing fiber opitics. Noticed bulbs for cig liter and heater did not work. Radio was working before I removed console etc. All instrument lites work. I know there is a ground that attaches in front of the cig liter that I have unhooked. First, is this ground for the radio, cig liter lite and heater lite? Second, can I attach a jumper to this ground and attach to park brake to test radio and lites without putting console back in? HELP! Year is 69. Oh, and I have a wiring diagram but am at a loss for how to read the thing.
any help appreciated.

I believe Mike is right.
The ground for the radio is part of the harness connection. Gray... light, yellow... power, black... ground.
The radio can be tested just sitting loose in the car if its connected to the harness, since the speakers are grounded through the radio too.
