Default 71 Corvette Power window wiring

Does anybody have a power window wiring diagram for a 1971 Corvette? No air. I purchased a new harness but the original has been so butchered, it's hard to figure out where everything originally went.

Mainly these wires. The fuse box wires are brown (old were pink). The orange with black tracer has a loop on the end as if it mounts with a screw. The red wire has a loop and an opened end (see pic).


Thanks, Bill

PERFECT! I purchased both the interior harness and power window harness from Willcox! So far just about every purchase I made on the 71 was from Willcox. Great service and tech support. Now, I don't have a clue as to where that relay is..I'm not even sure it's still there. That would be under the hood correct? I just looked for the circuit breaker it is not there.

Thanks for all the help,Bill

If it's anything like a 72,
My circuit breaker is mounted onto the side of the square box where the brake booster it's mounted in the engine bay.
The relay, I think, is under the center console, mounted to the tunnel, approx under the radio.

I have the relay, I don't have the circuit breaker. Is it mounted just above the booster? Looks like the is a mounting bracket there.

Are you the person I've been swapping emails with the last week? The breaker is out on the firewall.. around the booster. I'm at home I don't have a picture here to post for you.
