Default Bubba Wiring Questions-Help

PICS ARE AT END OF POST THANK YOU

Just purchased a 1971 coupe with auto trans, and air conditioning. Everything worked fine, but it was a mess. According to people on this board, replacing the wiring harness didn’t sound too difficult. I purchased a wiring harness from Lectric Limited along with wiring schematic, but it’s not easy to read. Now that I’ve started, I have questions about additional plugs…


1.Orange and tan plug with black ground. Don’t know where it goes.


2.Blue and yellow single wires I think go to the wiper washer pump, but the ends are different. Also, I’m not sure where the red wire with white stripe at bottom center go. Finally, the yellow and black wire single wire seem like they should go to the coil, BUT I’m not running a coil. Can I eliminate them?


3.I don’t know where any of these go. Can you help?


4.I believe this is the wiper relay, numbered 1-5. Can you give me the corresponding numbers to the green, purple, orange, double black wires?

yeah, sorry. just noticed that. I'm not sure why it's not working. We added the URL to where the pictures reside (on Flickr). Can you suggest another way?

Red with a white stripe looks like it goes to the wiper safety switch
