Happy Labor Day to everyone.
Once again I have questions.
1973 Coupe.
Am I missing another connector for these two switches? The door ajar and courtesy light switches do not seem to connect to my harness.


As always thank you for your help.

Default Special terminal connectors.

The connector on the wire in the second picture is correct.
Insert the terminal connector into the bottom of the switch.

more info on my wiring adventures.
There are two different rear wire harnesses for 1973. The door ajar switches are either two wire spade connectors or three wire bayonet connectors.
So,I have the two wire harness which is the 2nd design. I also have the 1st design switches. Suggestion? I would like to use the 2nd design harness, replacing switches might be cheaper?
As always thank you for your help.
