This doesn't belong in "Ask Tadge". What year Corvette are you referring to? I assume a C3?

A 1970 C3. If it doesn't belong to Ask Tadge where does it? This is my first time using CorvetteForum and it might be my last/

What are you wanting to do? The front FO harness has six cables while the rear has three. The fronts should be in a connecter which mounts beneath the console.

Push come to shove, you can shine a light source through the cable one lamp at a time.

Tadge is a senior GM engineer currently involved with the C8.

Since you have a C3, your question should be in the C3 tech section.

Wish I could help, I've had my C3 2 years and they have never worked, but I really dont mind.
