Wiring help needed for dash. Pleeeeeeassseeeee
Started putting the dash wiring back in tonight and it has gone fairly well except for three mystery wires.
The first one is two fat purple wires one with a white stripe going into a female connector on the left hand side of the dash. I am thinking that this connects to the clutch sensor however my car was an origional automatic.
Second is two fat red wires one with a white stripe going into a female connector. It is in the same area as the two bundles that coonect to the top of the steering column.
And third is an orage and a white wire going into a plastic round female connector that I think hooks to the brake switch.
I am lousy at reading wiring diagrams and can't find these anywhere. Please help.
:confused: :eek: :smash:

On my 73 the orange and white wires connect to the brake switch. So I think you got that right
Can't help with the others... but I'll check some of my books and see if I have a 71 wiring diagram (yours is a 71, isn't it ???, that's whats in your signature).
Stay tuned.

Believe that's your wiper overide switch wires.

Wade, the purple wires are for the clutch interlock switch (at least they are on my '69). Looking at the Haynes wiring diagram for a '71 I see:
12 Purple to clutch safety switch
14 orange & 14 white to the stop lamp switch
The red wires are either to the windhshield wiper override switch, or are the +12 v unfused wires to the ignition switch.

PS - I'll be in Charlotte this weekend. IM me if you need some help.

You guys are GREAT!!!!!! If it wasn't for this forum sometimes I think I would load it all up in boxes and sale it to the highest bidder. Thanks for the quick help on this. :cheers:
