thanks for the reply aktbird! yes i have several books with the wiring diagrams in them.my problem is i am not able to read them very well. i am going to take the harness to a mechanic that works on electrical systems in vettes.maybe he can identify the wire and where it plugs into the back of the fusebox. thanks---john

John, I have the wiring diags. also, call me if you don't get if figured out and maybe we both can have a look at it. Seems like I recall the wire from the block running to the door switch for the interior lights.. but don't take that as the gospel.

hey 76vette! the white wire-is it about a foot long?one end plugs into a wide clip which holds 10 wires,then plugs into the back part of the fuse box.can you look at it again to make sure this is the right one?i think it is. a pic would be great! thanks for your help!---john

is the wire on the interior side or is it on the engine compartment side? i took some pictures of the one on the interior side and it goes to the switch for the door. i looked under the hood but i have most of the wires covered and ran with the fuel injection harness that i have as well so i cant see them. i have to find my memory stick addapter so that i can upload the pictures. shouldnt take to long i just have to ask the wife what she did with it.

let me know if this is what you were looking for. the white wire with the sticker still on it goes to the door switch.
p.s. im blind..... the memory stick adapter was sitting right next to the laptop
