Need some C3 Wiring Harness Help
I am reinstalling the engine compartment wiring harness on my 71 convertible. I have a few wires that do not seem to be shown on my wiring diagram. These are all on the harness that comes from the firewall junction and goes across the front of the fire wall to the passenger side.
- there is a 2 terminal connector near the master cylinder brake booster - about 6 inch long - orange and tan wires - it joins the harness at the same pace as the wiring for the two relays on the fire wall near the brake booster ?
- on the passenger side between the wiper and the heater areas there are two seperate pairs of wires that leave the main harness - 2 feet long or more - one has tan and dark blue wires and a flat two terminal connector on the end. The other has orange and black wires and a round rubber connector on the end - possibly long enough to go to the transmission or front of the engine over the intake area ?
Appreciate any help if you know where these wires go
thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,
Your description sounds like the long wires are the ones that run to the CEC solenoid mounted on the front/drivers side of the carburetor; and the TCS switch on the transmission. The problem is the color and fittings don't match with what my 71 has. The TCS switch has a round rubber connector but a single wire and the black/orange pair have a flat white/opaque nylon connector.
Sorry I can't help.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Regards,
Alan
